Sometimes these hammers are a little bit cupped, and I have filed them some. Just that, or nothing. Hang them and see how they sound.<BR>

Hi gang, <BR>
<BR>
This summer I'm rebuilding the action on our 1956 Baldwin D using Renner shanks/flanges and wippens. I'm also, per your previous reccommendations, trying Ronsen-Wurzen hammers for the first time. I have some time before summer arrives to "prep" the parts, weigh off the shanks, check pinning, etc. My question is; What sort of pre-voicing should be done with these hammers? Do they require pre-filing, juicing, needling etc.? They're already bored, tapered and tails shaped nicely. <BR>
<BR>
Thanks for any input! <BR>
