Renner vs Schaff parts

[Porritt, David]

Yes!  I'm definitely a Renner person though lately I've been hanging a
bunch of Ronsen Wurzen felt hammers on those Renner shanks.  I just did
hammers & shanks on a Steinway "D" last week and I've ordered some for
an "L" for that I'm working on.  The (Renner) shanks are OK on the "L"
so it only gets new hammers.  If you haven't tried some with the Wurzen
felt you are really missing something.  To me, they get the sound that I
think Steinway is trying for with their hammers but miss.

List

  

I'm going to be rebuilding a Mason and Hamlin AA this summer.  I'm about
to purchase parts for it, and I'm wondering...

 

Renner vs Schaff

 

I pay more for Renner parts.  Therefore they must be better.  I
certainly want to buy Renner Premium Blue hammers.  But I wonder about
the shanks and wippens.  Is it worth the extra money to pay for Renner
wipps and shanks?

Any input?

Thanks,
Tom Sivak
