[CAUT] Wieckert felt?

Hi Mark,

I forwarded this to Rick Baldasssin who then forwarded it to Lloyd Meyer. Hopefully Lloyd will respond and enlighten us.

Subject: [CAUT] Wieckert felt?

Sorry I’m a few days behind on this Fred. Thanks for your excellent report on the convention. I’m a little confused with the following comment though;

“Weickert felt (a product of the Wurzen felt company licensed exclusively to Renner)”

It seems I’ve been discussing “Wurzen” and “Weickert” interchangeably, and am now confused somewhat beyond the usual. Can anyone help with the following?


•         The Renner USA Premium Blue hammer, is made exclusively with WURZEN felt, but not necessarily with the Weickert product?

(I can’t imagine any similarity between the ABEL natural felt and a Renner Premium Blue, though both are significant products in their own right)



•         How does Renner (Europe) market/label hammers made with the Weickert felt?


•         Don’t Ronsen and Pacific Piano Supply make hammers with the Weickert felt, or are these just generic WURZEN felt?


•         Are the Ronsen Wurzens and Pacific Supply hammers similar, the same (made by Ray for Pacific, etc.) or entirely different ?

Thanks all,

Mark Cramer,
