<DIV>Hi, David,</DIV>
<DIV>The question in the back of my mind is, how to deal with the =
problem not
the symptom, if we can. We blame the hammer mostly because we can change =
it,
where it might be that it is a design problem of where the ribs, bridge, =
string,
level, agraff, rim, placement in the room or whatever that is the =
underlying
reason for the need to alter the sound. </DIV>
