Tuning Hammers

[Greg Newell]

David,
         I haven't had a problem with plate strut 
clearance at all! The only problem I have ever 
had was in getting the head in tight quarters 
around A0 or A#0. Everything after that has been 
a breeze. I even bought the little extension 
piece to use in case I needed the reach but haven't used it yet.

best,
Greg

P.S. I thought you said they were ugly!
