?? Voice ??

[Barbara Richmond]

Hi Corte,

I love that tool, but I've used it mostly for crown work on all pianos and
shoulder work on less hard upright hammers.  Can't give you an opinion on
the hardness of newer Yamaha hammers, it's been eons since I've worked on a
"new" one.

Off to work now,

Barbara Richmond
