Dear ?? Curve 6! or 1/4 medium... on the edge of light weight.... Very nice for a soft surfaced and resilient cold pressed hammer that would sound too soft with heavier weight levels... great color, nuance, and delicacy! A nice old traditional and very special sound.... not a big modern sound.. David Stanwood >I agree with you. Just yesterday, I witnessed the effect of hammer density on >a Yamaha C7. Also, I happen to like the feel of a curve 6 SW in >combination with an action ratio of around 6. > >>And soundboard response too but I think that hammer density can trump SW >>(except maybe in extreme cases) and there are many examples of a light >>hammers on higher tension scales (older Steinway D's and older Bechsteins > >come to mind) where the they were more than adequate to the task.
