I'm replacing old hammers in a customer's 1896 Emerson Upright, and I wanted to get opinions as to the use of "Imadegawa" brand hammers. They cost about $40 less than an Abel set, which I know is a superior hammer, but... Is the Imadegawa a decent hammer for an old upright? My customer is only an "ocassional" player, and up until now (I just met her last week), her piano was almost a WHOLE step flat, had non-damping dampers, and hammers that were badly worn, almost to the wood core! (sometime in the past, someone must have filed, the hammers, probably more than once). So, I'm sure ANY new hammers will be a big improvement, but still, I wanted the opinion(s) of those wiser than I. Thanks!
