[pianotech] Replacement Hammer Suggestions Baldwin Studio Upright

[Terry Farrell]

Yeah, I see it a lot on Baldwins and the little green monsters from our famous "American Craftsmen".

Okay, one vote for Ronsen. That was the only thing I was wondering about using a Ronsen - would it be too soft for a Baldwin soundboard?
