What effect do worn hammers (filed almost to the wood in the treble section) have on touch and tone in a Steinway grand piano? When replacing a set of hammers would you also replace the shanks and flanges? The tuning pins have been replaced with 6/0 pins.The torque is from 20 inch pounds and jumping in the bass to 60 inch pounds in the treble.the torque is uneven.  There students are advanced and require a good touch and tone.I need to present this to a committee please help with your coments and suggestions. Thank you
