Voicing support block

[Joe & Penny Goss]

Lance,
My voicing tray is much easier to use for gang filing upright and grand
hammers ( without removing from action )   http://www.primenet.com/~imatunr/
The felt goes against the grand hammer tail and the wood inbetween
thecatchers and the action. Felt away from you.
