I would like to recommend the Wurzen hammers to start with; and do so =
with
the caveat that there are some instruments/makers/models which seem to
require a harder hammer to get much going in the way of sound.  YMMV.
Good luck.
Best.

Yes, Horace....seems that some Europianos are actually made to function
better with high-compression hammers. Is that possible, o ye engineering
heroes?

Anyway, I would try a set of Renner Wurzen hammers on that sucker.  The
washing routine would be an interesting technical experiment, but only =
in an
academic way---the new hammers, either Ronsen or Renner, would blow the =
old
brittle ones way out of the water.
