Hi Dale, <br><br>
Unfortunately though, that's where the "immediate" money is.
Besides all those who <br>
don't know how to do it and are afraid to learn!<br><br>

<dd>Hi Brian<br><br>
<dd>The answer to your question is really a lot more involved then what a
<br>
<dd>simple reply from folks here can give you. Much depends on what
kind of <br>
<dd>approach you are going to use, and what kind of hammer you have to
work <br>
<dd>with. For example, the one needle vs three needle question
often boils <br>
<dd>down to either what phase of voicing you are in or whether or not you
<br>
<dd>are fine voicing lacquered hammers or not. How deep, where, and when
to <br>
<dd>needle depends on what you are trying to accomplish, and again on
what <br>
<dd>kind of hammer you are dealing with. A hammer soaked in lacqure
will <br>
<dd>have no real benifit from deep shoulder needling as a general rule,
but <br>
<dd>a hammer that needs needling down requires such treatment. A
full <br>
<dd>treatise is a bit beyond a one post answer. My best advice is
to read <br>
<dd>through the archives and join your local ptg chapter, attend meetings
<br>
<dd>and find a voicing teacher who can help you get started. And,
as Phil <br>
<dd>pointed out... dont hesitate to try your hand after
reading. In the <br>
<dd>end voicing is learned by doing more then anything else.<br><br>
<dd>Cheers<br>
