I am considering replacing or reshaping the hammers in my 1926 Steinway model M. Hammers are Steinway, were last replaced in 1966. Voicing no longer is able to resolve the tonal variation, they are just too worn for that. However my tech (not an RPT) thinks that reshaping will get a few more years out of them and bring the tone back to what it should be. I would be interested in your thoughts on this......I wonder how this will affect the "feel" of the instrument, there was talk of lubing the action with graphite as well........
