Quentin,

Yes.....well, I want specifics.  :-)   I suppose that the hammers could =
just have a "different" sound (the way hammers do), but I'm really =
looking for boosting power here.  I haven't called Ronsen to see if I =
can just get some samples (what the heck am I waiting for?), because if =
I'm going to hang a new set I'd like to test a couple of different kinds =
(including another recommended by a friend).

I am a little curious about folks hanging the Wurzen Ronsens and saying =
that they do nothing to them, except maybe adding a  hardening agent a =
little in the treble.  Is the bloom and sustain on these hammers not to =
be improved at all by needling?  Are they perfectly balanced from the =
beginning?  I find that somewhat hard to believe---but sure would like =
to.  :-)
