<DIV><FONT face=Helvetica size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Helvetica size=2>Just thinking...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Helvetica size=2>Couldn't you remove those two dead =
hammers and
move all hammers above those two steps lower ? If the shanks are alike, =
put the
two removed shanks at the trebble end, and find two trebble spare =
hammers to put
on. Those are easy to find as there are always some in every new =
hammer
set, and in the high trebble you won't notice so quickly that the =
hammers are
from another sheep's wool. If the shanks are not alike (trebble =
ones
thinner) you'll have to unglue two hammers, in order to put thin shanks =
in the
trebble end.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Helvetica size=2>But why did the former tech =
overneedle those
two hammers ? Is there a structural issue causing voicing problems there =
?</FONT></DIV>
