Walter 175 hammers

[Delwin D Fandrich]

If this piano has hammers with dark-colored moldings, they are Abel. The hammers
Walter has ordered from Ronsen all have maple moldings.

 It's really hard to make assumptions based on moldings. By the way Ronsen
supplies mahogany moldings on request.  It's called sapele...or.....(suh---pee--
lee). So not necessarily Abel. In fact Charles asked me about the tone of one of
his pianos in Feb at the Cal. He was going to try the Bacon felt as the
consensus including mine was that the hammers in the piano were  strident
sounding.

Thanks, Del, Dale, and David. The hammers have mahogany-colored moldings, so I
guess that means Abel? Interesting. The piano is in a large showroom, so I will
advocate hardeners only as a last resort. Meanwhile, it'll be fun to see how far
I can take it with polishing/ironing.
