   I wanted to announce this exciting bit of news here first.
  Sincerely

  Ronsen Piano Hammer Company announces
   the New Weickert felt limited edition piano hammer. 
         Exclusively produced in America by the Ronsen Hammer Co.

  The Wurzen felt company of Germany has just reintroduced the legendary
Weickert felt. This felt was prized by hammer piano makers for its
resilience & tonal versatility.
    Weickert felt was in use by many famous makers for nearly 90 years
before WW-II forced the plant to be shut down. All old N.Y. Steinways as
well as many other American and European companies used this felt. 
  When the Berlin Wall came down, the Jack Brand family of Canada purchased
the facility and in 1992 began felt production with all the original
equipment and felt making formulas still intact! Wurzen makes a host of
piano felts for the industry and its products are marketed and used
worldwide.
 
   Now the Famous Weickert felt piano hammer has been recreated. It is a
dense,springy felt that provides a rich palette of tonal coloration to the
musician and technician.
   Ronsen-made Weickert felt hammers elicit enormous sustain and tonal
clarity from the very first moment - and these attributes are present
without pre-needling. A simple probing of these hammers with a single #6
needle reveals a wonderful dense feel, and the needles go all the way in
with a beautiful feel of velvety compliance.

  The Weikert-style felt by Wurzen utilizes a special proprietary blend of
wools as did the original formulas.
 The reduction of protocols known to damage felt fibers in production, such
as over-bleaching, pressing, ironing and sanding have all been reduced or in
large part eliminated, leaving an absolutely beautiful organic hammer. The
felt even smells alive!
 The Weickert felt's density, elasticity and strength are left intact and
are the vital and necessary ally of discriminating voicing technicians.
  Weickert felt, combined with the time-tested traditional hammer-making
protocols of Ronsen's Ray Negron, has now produced one of the finest piano
hammers ever available.
 Available October 23 thd. Order now.

   Priced at $330.00 for 16 lb. felt
