Wim, you said "Use a linen cloth, like a handkerchief. Make it wet, but not dripping, place it over the hammer, and touch the hot hammer iron to the top of the hammer for about 1 or 2 seconds." So?I should?steam only at the strike point?? Or do you also so some steaming at 10 & 2 o'clock, or even lower in the shoulder, to give more "give" in the overall hammer when striking the string? Thanks...?? Bill Fritz, StLouis/PTG -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
