True confessions!?

[Farrell]

Yeah, but Alan did it to align the hammer to the string, not for hammer/neighbor clearance. Alan, did you have enough hammer surface left so that the remaining hammer was hitting both strings on a bicord? Or was this just in the monocord section? I've seen this condition far too many times - and I'm quite sure the hammer rail was simply drilled that poorly.
