Last Tuesday, I was helping Brooke organize her Instrument Maintenance Room. She casually asked if I'd bring her the mallet. Mallet. Hmmm. Isn't 'mallet' just a fancy word for hammer? So, I picked up her smallest metal claw hammer. Wow, heavy.
Ah, I learned VERY quickly that, NO, 'mallet' is not just a pretty name. It is a very specific kind of tool. And the hammer I picked up (in the photograph above), is definitely NOT the kind of hammer you EVER use on your instrument.
Just thought you'd like to know.
