Now it is time you ask for advice. Kawai US-5X upright which I think is 125 cm 49 inches? The client is me. I am installing new butts and flanges etc. I want a good hammer and the price is not important to me. Do I fit Renner with the Wurzen felt or Abel Wurzen or what? I do prefer a hard (er) hammer and I would prefer to voice down than (no offence) pour lacquer into the hammer head. Unless I get a better option I will order from Germany. The originals are mahogany core with non impregnated felt.(even though Japan poured lacquer into some areas in production. been there seen that, do not want to copy) Personally the japanese hammers are a little boring (and some Abels are TOO soft) and I know I could improve the sound with a better piano, but she who must be obeyed won't let me .. :-) Thanks Brian Wilson Land of Oz _________________________________________________________________ Use Messenger in your Hotmail inbox Find out how http://windowslive.ninemsn.com.au/hotmail/article/823454/web-im-for-hotmail-is-here -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
