Well, not thousands.  I do have a large selection of sample hammers of
various types that I use just for this purpose.  I have a couple of
tenor and a couple of treble hammers from a variety of makers and I do
keep a few sets of my typical choices in stock.  In this case, I did go
on autopilot and hang the whole set of Steinway hammers which I then had
to pull off and hang a new set.  I'll reuse the Steinway hammers, on
another job at some point, so that's not a loss.   And I did find that I
can prepare and hang a set of hammers very quickly when need arises.

I really appreciate all of the experience that has been shared on this
discussion. 
 
David's experience of going through several different styles of hammers
before finding the "right" one is particularly intriguing. Now it is no
trivial thing to try on different sets of hammers. There is considerable
expense in the hammers themselves, and considerable expense in hours
spent installing, voicing and regulating. David's experiment which he
shared for free has no doubt cost him several thousand dollars on this
one piano.
 
Kinda makes it sound like what we are engaged in can be an expensive
hobby, eh? ;-)
 
Blessings,
