You're right, my misunderstanding. She said normally they were  angled =
across the strings one way and now they were they opposite. What she =
meant was the string angle is about twelve degrees and the hammer is =
angled 18 degrees. Usually it's less than the string angle. Spacing and =
string alignment was very difficult. This was on a "M". The hammers were =
prehung from Steinway. Still doesn't seem right to me.

    I just talked a tech the said they just got a new set of S&S hammers =
that had a letter with them proclaiming new bore angles, not to freak =
out.The bass hammers were bored the same direction as the treble =
section. I thought it had to be a mistake. Anybody else get any S&S =
hammers with the bass section angled to the left or across the strings =
instead of parallel to them?Keith Roberts
