strike point Explanation: But when adding accents, the hammer shank flexes more and more, just like a golf club shank, raising the center of percussion and the hammer's ideal strike point. So when the hammer hits the string at a right angle to it, and precisely at its most efficient point besides, you get all that you purchased at the key -- full power. A striking difference. http://www.mmdigest.com/Archives/Digests/199911/1999.11.27.0... The longest is the original horizontal configuration of the string, a straight line from bridge to agraffe. Now if we drop a vertical line from the hammer strike point down to the original string position, we get two right triangles back-to-back. http://contentspiano.blogspot.com/2006/02/making-minor-repai... |
