Hello Barbara,

I can't help you about the Ronsen Wurzen hammers, because here in =
Europe, we get our Wurzen hammers from Renner, in Germany.

The company I work for has been changing hammers for at least 15 years =
on many many pianos for customers, conservatories, concert pianos, =
etc...
Before my boss met Andre one year ago, he was convinced that the Abel =
hammers (VFG felt) were better without really knowing why. All he knew =
was that the Renner hammers were a bit more expensive.
After he went to the french convention where Andre and his business =
partner Arnold made a lecture about Wurzen felt, he ordered a few sets =
at Renner.
Since then, there has never been a single Abel hammer glued on an action =
in our workshop.
We have ordered at least 15 sets, and the result was always great.=20
Of course, they have to be needled, but it is easier than the others, =
and they sound great from the beginning.

I've not much voicing experience, but these are the results my =
colleagues and I have observed since we only install Wurzen Renner =
hammers.

Our next "patient" will be a Schimmel 174 grand, and I'm really happy =
because I will work on it : keyboard rebushing, shanks and hammer =
replacement, regulation, and voicing.
It's waiting for me in the workshop !
Great program !!

Quentin
