---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Isaac My statement on tension. I hope its clearer >>>Ok Tension on felt means stretch or pull right? Compression means compaction or densification right? Now I want to make a statement that you can prove for yourself. The Ronsen hammers is the most tensioned hammer in the world. & No I'm not a salesman. If the felt on your preferred hammer is really stretched & tensioned, as you keep referring to,then if you should be able to cut the hammer open from the strike point to the molding with a razor& it should immediately & dramitically bloom open. Especially in the Bass & tenor hammers. This is exactly what happens with the Ronsen hammers. All of the hammers Ronsen makes will do this but the Wurzen felt most of all. I've been at this for years now. I've cut open all kinds of hammers & I don't believe the phenomena you refer to as tension is what your using to get tone it's the compaction or compression. Most hammers will blomm open to some degree but it's not usually dramtic. Isaac hammers will also do this to some degree. The point is that a stretched elastic felt around a hammer molding should equal incresed springiness & it does. Also the hammer your using is a fine hammer & gets a fine tone but I do not believe it is under much tension as I've expressed it,It's under compaction & the inherent springiness of the felt is your ally invoicing & I know that we agree on this. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
