The all new Weickert felt hammer by Ronsen

[erwinspiano at aol.com]

? Hi David
?Some of the test sheets were harder in the trebles & this is a option we are exploring as we tweak the felt manufacture. The differences right now are not in the pressing. The set I put on the Kawai was perfect without juice except the bass which I put about 4 drops of 11 to?1 lacquer(break in solution)?right on the crown & instantly gave enough bite to blend with the tenor trebles. I will report how this piano?is playing in shortly.
? I think the possibilities here represented by the Weickert product could be revolutionary.
?Thanks David

I would still like to see this hammer hardened starting gradually from about F#5 to the top either in the press or by some pretreatment.? I would prefer that sets at this level not require any hardening except perhaps at the extremes.? Even with that, at least with the one set I installed, it performs very well. 

?

One other thing, I would like to see yet another iteration with an even firmer pressing overall for use on big performance pianos or pianos that simply require a firmer hammer.? That would give what I have been looking from a hammer manufacturer for a long time which is a hammer that can be ordered with three different pressings (soft, medium, firm) creating a starting point that one could choose depending on the requirements of the piano and/or customer.? ??

How do these compare to Abel Naturals? ?Or the Wurzen AAA felt hammers from Ronson?
