<DIV><BR></DIV><!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<P><FONT size=2>In shaping new hammers in the bass section with respect to
clearance between the adjoining hammers, it .appears that the hammers require
shaping on one side (bass side) to acheive clearance. Is there any concern by
the imbalane about the shank axis? Although the hammers are skewwed, is there
any need to shape the hammer tail on the opposite
side?<BR><BR> -----Original Message-----<BR>From: Jon Page [<A
