Does the New York Steinway specification of 5 1/8 " from hammer flange center pin to center of hammer molding apply to Hamburg as well?
 
I am replacing hammers on a Hamburg D.  The old (or present set of hammers) distance is 5 1/16 or a tiny bit more on all but one of the sample hammers (ends of sections).  One is glued on at 5 1/8  (hammer #1)    They probably use a mm. spec rather than inches.?
 
Also, the new hammers I ordered from S&S specifically for the Hamburg sure are a lot wider and they are hornbeam instead of mahagony like the old ones.   I will taper these to try to match weight.
 
Your help is appreciated.
 
Bob
