Hammer shape tone relationship- pointy gives higher harmonics, flatter fewer harmonics. Why? Because the time the hammer is in contact with the string. -Flatter will be in contact for longer as there's less bounce. -sharper, for less time, faster rebound. Imagine a pillow and a knife hitting the string...
Very informative thank you. I'm looking to do that to my old upright but I'm super hesitant. I don't want to mess it up. I assume you don't need to do each section right ? For example, if the base section is nice and smooth but the treble got grooves, then sanding the treble alone would be fine right? Obviously a regulation will be necessary afterwards.

Great info, will you ever have a session on taping pins or pinblock juicing?
