Hi Everyone,
I am going to a new customer on Monday who has a Kimball console I'm guessing by how they described it with a missing bass hammer.  I won't know if the hammer is in the bottom of the piano until I get there on Monday.  I have som eold spare hammers here still connected to the hammer sections that were given to me when I started in piano tuning back in Chicago.  If the hammer is missing, what is the best way to find as close to a match as possible from these hammers I have?  If it were a Yamaha or Kawai Steinway I could just get one like I did last Spring for a Yamah.  The reason I'm asking is this. I want to make sure it's a good fit because if I find one that matches up to the neighboring hammer lets say, doesn't the density of the hammer felt play an important part as well even if the size is similar shouldn't the density be as well?  thanks
Marshall
