HAMMER RESHAPING & VOICING

The condition of piano hammers has a detrimental role in piano performance. With time hammers get worn and loose their ability to properly mate the strings. As a result, the hammers get worn much faster and produce undesirable tonal inconsistency.

Hammer filing is a procedure required to restore their healthy shape.  Once the hammer surface area can properly contact strings tonal regulation is possible.

 

Voicing is a process of adjusting hammer felts by needling or solution application. The harder the felt the harsher the tone and reverse; the softer the felt the duller the tone. The goal of voicing is to bring the tonal balance between brilliance and warmth.
