The contact point of the hammer is centered under 
the bi-chord strings. 
 

In the trichord note section the bass side of the 
hammer should overlap the left string 1mm.     
 

For easy hammer spacing, put 1mm shim (metal 
ruler) between keyframe and action stop block     

 

 

Use the Hammer flange spacer under the pin block 
while looking down between the strings.
