They have already been filed and the blow distance varies quite a bit from hammer to hammer, but is nearly 2" overall. I am debating whether to order stock hammers or send samples and get a custom made set.  Stock is cheaper, but I am concerned about matching the angles in the bass and tenor sections.  Any advice? thanks in advance P.

You might be able to save a few dollars, but they do a great job. That way, if there is a mistake, it won't cost you anything. Wim </HTML>
