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!

   Ronsens are the best hammer for an upright in my highly biased opinion. If 
the desire is to create a Japanese/asian sound in an old american upright 
then by all means use the Imadagawas.
