Dear Mr. Schembri,

Some of my thoughts:

It can be done, but it is going to take an extremely sensitive, 
experienced, knowledgeable person to replace just even the hammers 
and have it still retain the character you sense, and still be the 
piano you enjoy playing most.

And once having embarked on the change, if you're not satisfied, 
going back to the way it was will be well nigh impossible.

Just my recommendation and opinion now, but be certain you are 
unhappy with the way your piano performs before making changes to it 
that might make you really unhappy.

Best,

assist you. Others on this the Pianotech list might.
