[pianotech] S&S hammers only in S&S pianos??

[Al Guecia/AlliedPianoCraft]

Alan,

I find the Ronsen hammers to be the closest to the Steinway hammers of yesteryear. I really can't comment on the more recent hammers. I haven't worked on enough new Steinways to make a reasonable assessment.

  Hi Al, 


  I appreciate your praise for Steinway hammers: It compels me to check my negative predisposition towards them.  That said, why are Ronsens your preferred replacements?

  Julia, 
   
  This is definitely good advice from David. 
   
  I have had the opportunity to shape and voice over 2000 sets of Steinway hammers. They are excellent hammers, but I have always used Ronsen hammers for replacements, except when Steinway or another brand is requested by a customer. May I suggest the new Weickerd felt from Ronsen. I am very impressed with them.
