Mike: Currently I'm only using Ronsen Wurzen hammers or Renner Premium Blues. If power were my main goal I'd go with the Renners. This afternoon I have to dope a set of the Wurzens which are on a reduced keyboard action in a D. The Wurzens sound wonderful, but the teacher who is doing all the small keyboard research wants more power out of it. Of course, one of the reasons is that she doesn't want people to conclude that the reduced size action also reduces power. It really doesn't. It's just that the other action for that piano has Renners on it and there is a power disparity. I have used the Ronsen Wurzen hammers on several practice room pianos where you really want not to have all that power. dp David M.
