---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi John I've used high quality hammers on many of these. In most cases, new quality hammers were the best & most econmical use of dollars to promote tonal enhancement of rather mediocre pianos. Of course ,this requires a good regulation , hammer mating ,seating & all the usual protocols common in high level piano performance enhancement. Whatever potential's there needs to be optimized right? Honestly I've done this in Young changs ( Young clangs) Many Yamahas & Kawais, generic asian types& there was always an improvement once the petrified felt o.e.m. parts were trash canned & replaced with top drawer parts. Over the years & being somewhat hammer obsessive (H.O.), I've installed hammers in anything that would hold still long enough to receive & transplant & I learned a lot this way. One thing holds true though if it really doesn't sing or ring with an easy pluck test in the money notes it's not likely to get a whole lot better with hammers. There is a point of no return for some critters. Ie. An 80's C-7 Yamaha with a pluck time in the C- 6 area of 2 seconds . Honest ! Dead board caused by some other malady of bearings , designs & such Dale Erwin > Most assuredly John. Ronsen Wurzens are suitable for any > piano...with a working soundboard. ! How about pianos with quasi-working soundboards? I look after dozens of older Samicks, YC's and other Korean made instruments. Would they benefit from them too? Is it worth trying to get the owners interested in them? John ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
