[pianotech] Weikert hammers

[Russell Gordon]

To All,

I just finished installing a set of the Weikert hammers on a St. B  
that received the full Stanwood treatment. I found the hammers to be  
everything Dale said. Great color, clarity and power right from the  
start. The bass was pressed a little softer and it did need a very  
light juicing (about 8:1 keytop acetone). Ray suggested a deep  
shoulder needling which did open the tone some, but they had great  
sustain even without any needling. The pianist literally jumped back  
with an amazed look on his face after playing a few notes. Thanks to  
Ray and Dale for all their efforts to get us these hammers and David  
for the ongoing research.
