Thanks in advance David Ilvedson, RPT >> Pros to Stienway You can assure customer that they are "genuiune Stienay Parts". Some like that. You can order them with teh hammers attached to the shanks. Saves you a lot of time. Con to Steinway: Some think Renner hammers are better than Steinway. If you've had experience with either or both, make your own decision. Personally I like the Steinway hammers, because of the above, but Renners do sound nice, and voice up much easier. Renner shanks are very good. Very little traveling. JUst my 2 cents worth Wim
