In this class, we focus on hammer shaping, an essential and highly impactful service that goes beyond simply removing grooves to intentionally sculpt the hammer for optimal tone and performance. We emphasize that proper shaping requires understanding the ideal hammer form, maintaining consistency, and working methodically to preserve felt and avoid poor results like flat or unfocused tone.
