But a while back, Roger Jolly had recommended them for replacement of the rocks on our Baldwin Ls in our practice rooms. I called Pianotek to find out prices and when I explained what I was after, they told me that the Ronsen Werzens were definitely NOT what I was looking for if I didn't want to fight harsh tone in a practice room. They said those hammers were very hard and I would be constantly needling them. I still haven't gotten around to replacing them. Got pushed down the priority list. But its going to have to happen someday soon, either by me or somebody. Those practice room hammers are about 13 years old now.
