That's fine, but a Yamaha requires a fairly dense hammer because of the way the soundboard is designed. There are many pianos that have quite a different set up and whose hammer needs will be different.

The instrument I mentioned was a low life 'older Yamaha' G3. The AA Wurzen hammers (made by Renner) gave it a completely new dimension. I had exactly the very same experience with a younger C3 about 10 years old. Not a very bad one, not a very good one. I installed our AA Wurzen covered hammers and they altered the instrument. It almost sounded German. hah! André Oorebeek _______________________________________________ pianotech list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives
