Vince, I have installed many sets of Ari's hammers on a wide variety of instruments. The results have always been quite good to exceptional in a few instances. There is much to be said for the cold press hammer. They are worth a try. At the PA State a few weeks ago Del Fandrich had some words to say about cold press hammers. He also mentioned Ari's hammers. Del, if you are out there it would be great to have you chime in here. Also, this is a good place and time to start your campaign to change the name of the piano. :-)) Don McKechnie Ithaca College > With all this talk of hammers and related voicing topics, I am seeking = > pros and cons of Ari Isaac's hammers.
