Striking point

[Paul T Williams]

Hi Alicia,

The hammers I think you're talking about are from Wally Brooks.  They're 
Abel "Natural Felt" hammers and I really enjoy working with them.

On the contraire, the tone from plucking is nice and rich. I've tried all 
sorts of hammers from grands uprights, etc but none that are to my 
likeing, I've managed to rake up some experience over  last 3 years or so, 
and never crossed a piano thats as weird as mine.
 
Speaking of hammers, I read in April addition of PTG journal about new 
type of hammers, that arent bleeched etc, anyone experienced them yet?

A quick way to determine whether the tone problem is in the hammer or the 
string/bridge/soundboard would be to simply pluck the string.  If you get 
dull tone plucking the string, there probably won't be much you can to 
with the hammer.
