Unless they have quit the practice of "Pre-Voicing" their hammers, the above still applies. Their "Pre-voicing" is simply adding a whole lot of lacquer to the hammer, BEFORE it ever gets glued on in an action. I personally, refuse to use Steinway hammers for this reason. It is extremely pretentious of them to assume that they know the acoustical preference of the customer or the acoustical environment that the piano exists in. In short, extremely cavalier attitude, IMHO. It is nice that they are now, (finally!), realizing that their pressing system needs some "tweeking". If they would produce hammers like the ones they made back in the early part of the 20th Century, I'd buy them in a N.Y. second, but alas, they don't....so I don't. Best Regards, Joe did you see my earlier post on this? Dale ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
