The current project on the table is a fairly early, non-overstrung Emerson. My question for you square lovers is this: The action parts are in good shape, worthy of renewal rather than replacement. However, the hammers are of the primitive, mostly wood (and not much wood at that) type with, 1/8 to 3/8" of felt, and covered by well worn leather. Is there a supplier of good replacement smaller hammers, or am I better off simply renewing the leather, or replacing the felt & leather together? Modern hammers with the corners nipped are clearly not the solution. The amount of pressure needed to replicate such a felt configuration seems minimal, but as we do on this list, I'm looking for input from someone who has already tried this a couple of different ways before I start my experimenting. I'm looking for the best tone this beast has to offer. (I warned you not to read this far if the urge to respond with flames is rising!) Sincerely, David Anderson, RPT The one in Waukesha, WI. Not the one who frequently posts to the list, but not the one who never posts either. One of 5 of us in the organization, I believe. Who's up for a Dave Anderson breakfast in KC? ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
