                             Lots of good comments already. Let me add that 
after hearing many new boards I believe there is a time period in which the 
board opens up.I've experienced this and I've spoken with Nick Gravgne and 
others about this phenomena and I believe it's definitely more than the 
hammers. As the board compression gets comfortable with the string load, the 
glue gets really hard at the joint and musical vibrations run thru the system 
etc. something very interesting is happening.  As someone pointed out though 
if it doesn't sound respectable initially  sometimes even waiting for the 
magic cosmic blooming effect won't get it to the point where it's a 10 but  
at least perhaps better than you initially thought.
