[CAUT] Kawai prehung hammers - Very good!

[Jim Busby]

They were just bad sounding. I've taken the concert class at Yamaha and
think I know their way to voice, but I couldn't get tone out of them. I
didn't like the hanging job either. Sloppy. (Now for Yamaha that is
really out of character!) Taper was uneven on one side, arching was
blunt ended. After a few months I gave up. Another tech might have made
them work... I put some new Abels on and Voila! Tone. 

 

In the class that Ron Connors taught a few years back he said he's
thrown away sets right after hanging them. It would be nice to have that
budget!

You didn't toss because of traveling issues?
