When you are working on a single note/hammer, it can actually be advantageous to hold the hammer with your hands. That way you have a feeling for the depth of the needle and resistance moving forward and holding the hammer gives you an additional balanced feedback on the density of the hammer felt.
isn´t it unadvisable to tone without supporting the hammer on a toning block ?
