Hi Avery and list, I have the action and keys for a Hardman grand sitting here waiting for me to start replacing the action. It was restrung a few years ago by someone else and they put Yamaha hammers on the original shanks. It is now a little too heavy and too bright. and since the repetitions are comming apart at the glue joints it was time to rebuild the action. I am planning to go with Renner-lite hammers and I am looking for a suggestion for new repetitions. I had great sucess with the Renner-lite (Light weight) on a Bosendorfer rebuild I did last year, the only surprise was that they really were light! I had to individually lead the hammer mouldings to match the original hammers, (added almost a gram to each) but they sang very well, with no need to harden, and just normal voicing to bring out the roundness of the sound. Does anyone have repetition recommendations?
