the chunk of wood that goes flying makes it that much better. Hahaha.

If ever percussionists feel a bit cranky that they're not playing a melody that people will walk away humming, fear not, you may one day have the privilige of playing the hammer!

@windstorm1000 Mahler said that he wanted a sound like an axe blow. It's only called a hammer because it looks like one rather than sounds like one. Personally, I don't think a ringing type sound would be as effective in this symphony.

why isn't a metal hammer used? it would have a more ringing louder tone. the wood one is too 'thud'
