I haven't thought that recordings reveal very much about voicing because you can't discover the dynamic properties of the voicing with out playing the piano. I posted a chart of hammer-set weights on my web site. I thought it would be interesting to see if you have noticed that piano hammers from before 1940 were lighter than the ones we use today. You can use the chart to see how different hammer set compare. I also included two older photos of wiring hammers on the Photo and Illustration page since you were interested.
