I am afraid there are too many variables to do anything here however great the need. While those here in this discussion may be willing to pay a little extra for their hammers if this information were made available, I fear the demand would not be large enough for the manufactures to bother with. Speaking of knowing your hammer maker, I just installed my first set of Isaac's hammers. WOW! That is the sound I have been looking for all along. I had gotten sick and tired of trying to soften these steel reinforced wire smackers and was on the prowl for a hammer still made of felt, you know the stuff made from wool. Talk about a smooth weight curve! The tone was warm, yet when with plenty of punch in forte playing. Right out the box only a little voicing was needed to give a nice smooth tone from bottom to top. Did I say I liked them? Andrew Remillard ANRPiano Service 2417 Maple Ave Downers Grove, IL 60515 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
