[CAUT] Ronsen-Wurzen hammers

[Porritt, David]

I think the only thing those things need is a shank and some glue.  I
think you'll be presently surprised at what you hear right out of the
box.

Hi gang, 

This summer I'm rebuilding the action on our 1956 Baldwin D using Renner
shanks/flanges and wippens.  I'm also, per your previous
reccommendations, trying Ronsen-Wurzen hammers for the first time.  I
have some time before summer arrives to "prep" the parts, weigh off the
shanks, check pinning, etc.  My question is; What sort of pre-voicing
should be done with these hammers?  Do they require pre-filing, juicing,
needling etc.?  They're already bored, tapered and tails shaped nicely. 

Thanks for any input!
