Hello Stephane I'd go for new Wurzens from Andre. Got his e:address? Reason a new hammer is consistent (usually) and, from Posts to this List, it would appear they need little or no voicing. Refelted hammers, on the other hand, usually require voicing. They also cannot be cinched up in the caul properly unless the butts are removed. Having said that, I have had some excellent results from re-covering.

Is there any reason to prefer new hammers instead of refelting the old ones or vice versa ? I mean : is the quality of a new hammer better than that of a refelted hammer ? Do you believe in utility of underfelt, or is it just decorative ? Best regards. Stéphane Collin.
