Hammers

[Lance Lafargue]

I'd be curious to know how you decided on Ronson.  I've heard almost
nothing about them and I am wondering what you heard that swayed you. 
Surely price can't be the reason for such an instrument as this.  Maybe
it's that I mostly work on 20th century instruments.  I'll be doing an 1883
Chickering this summer, though.
