Are there any suitable replacement hammers available for small, late
19th century uprights with very small hammers? I'm working on an
action at the moment that really should have new hammers if it is
going to continue in service. All the upright hammers that i have seen
have bass hammers much too large. Or should i find someone to recover
the originals? Any comments from those who regularly work on antiques?

Actually now that i think about it, the bass hammers aren't a bad
shape, so perhaps i should just look at replacing treble only?
