I'm about to replace a set of original hammers on a 1915 Steinway O. I may have to keep the original shanks and whippens. Given that scenario, what is the best replacement hammer, natural felt Abel? Are they light enough? Are current Steinway hammers so heavy that there's no way to trim them to a weight that will work on original action parts? Richard West
