little bit, a bit less, and even less than that. Right where the hammer
and the string collide. I find that if you steam hammers which have been
needled at the strike point, even lightly, but several times, you will
raise a ridge at the ends of the strike lines, and a sort of fluffy
depression in between them. Vodka seems to cause less of this. <br>
