I was very happy with the way the job turned out and that was four years ago.

No dice. Are original hammers and parts desireable here are is there a hammer you prefer for the job? In this case the piano is in a high ceiling studio with hard walls and floors and I was called in because it was too bright. More than 1/2" of flat on top the hammers definately didn't help... >> >> What hammers would you suggest sampling for the customer? >> >> >> Andrew Anderson, >> Artisan Piano >
