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?
