Do you have a link? Would you care to comment on this? David? I'm presently in the process of installing a set of hammers on a Del Fandrich redesigned belly (1890s 6'4" Knabe) and can use all the help I can get - pretty much a new world to me. Whereas previous hammer installations on other similar projects have been successful, it has always seemed to be a bit of a shot in the dark for me - I'd just kinda hold my breath and see what shook out - I'd sure like to go about the selection/preparation process more methodically. Thanks.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>Terry Farrell</FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>from:</B> <A title=erwinspiano@aol.com href="mailto:erwinspiano@aol.com">erwinspiano@aol.com</A> </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><STRONG>SNIP</STRONG></DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><FONT face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif" size=3> It's still a good idea to practice hammer sampling that David Love has been a proponent of.
