---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Richard, As with any set of hammers on any given piano, you'll have to proceed cautiously as to finding how the Wurzen hammers will work with each and every piano. The thing that I have noticed on all of the sets is the starting point of voicing was at a much more advanced state than any type of hammer I've worked with so far. In fact, these hammers immediately bring out some nuances in each piano which you swear were never there before. In other words, you have a lot to work with right out of the box. After a nice, but conservative hammer filing, the tone grows. After some light shoulder voicing, that much better. I have not had to add lacquer in the bass, but I did do a light shoulder lacquering in the top 1 1/2 octaves on all sets. As with any set of hammers, there is a break in time, and I'm still learning how these are going to behave. I eager to go back after several hundred hrs. of play and make note of the changes. From the looks of the design of the felt, it looks like these hammers are the real deal. They behave and sound as close to the turn of the century Steinway hammers as you can get. And look how well those hammers matured over a century of play. Pretty impressive. Tom Servinsky ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
