[Wayne Walker]

I posted a question about Abel Golden Bell Hammers on the list last week
and received no response. Here is an update on the item which is sold by
Pianophile in Canada.

Hi Norm,
I've noticed the new Abel Golden Bell Hammers. What is different about
these hammers compare to the other Abel hammers you carry other than the
yellow underfelt. I tried to find information on Abel web site but they
had nothing about them. I'm doing a quote for work on a Heintzman
upright and noticed these new hammers.
 
 
 
Hi,
 
We had several techs/rebuilding shops asking for a larger hammerhead. To
use them in
large Upright pianos.  
 
We've contacted Abel to see what they could come up with. 
 
The Golden Bell type is our own brand. It is heavier than the regular
Abel hornbeam. (#0801-AL)
 
For comparison,  hammerhead 00 from #0801-AL  weights  8.45 gr.   00
from #0801-AG weights 10.47 gr.
                           last hammer   95  from  #0801-AL weights
5.07 gr.  92 from #0801-AG weights 5.55 gr.       
 
It's not really bigger, as what you see in old Uprights, but it is wider
than regular Abel.
>From what we heard from the customers who installed them, it really
brings up sound & volume from the
piano. Of course it has regular features found in Abel hammerheads.
