[CAUT] Rebuilding a Yamaha without Yamaha action parts

[Shelley]

Thank you so much for the info about Collodion!

I have a question regarding rebuilding a Yamaha C5 action circa 1980.  This
piano is in a small performance hall.  It is time to replace all of the
action parts.  The piano is always Œmiked¹.
Has anyone used parts and hammers not from Yamaha to success in this
situation?  I really don¹t relish paying those high costs and needling until
I need physical therapy!  Are there parts and hammers that are particularly
recommended by those of you who have a broader experience than I?
For home use I have used the Renner blues, the best Ronson¹s of 4 years ago,
and the Encore Wurtzen from Wally Brooks to great success.  What about in a
hall?
Wippens?

Your input would be greatly appreciated.

Shelley
