Paul: As everyone else has been saying, Ronsen hammers. Talk to Ray and tell him your situation and he can make what you need. I talked to him about our practice room with a B in it, and he got me a set of Bacon felt hammers that have worked very well. The great thing is that you can talk to the guy who actually presses the hammers and picks the felt. dave David M.

A small $$ windfall is going to allow me to re-hammer some of these. When new, the hammers were rock hard and defied even the most heroic voicing attempts, so I want to make sure that I install something moderately soft to start with this time. Again, the rooms are small, with block wall construction, tile floors, etc. Suggestions welcome. Paul E. Dempsey, RPT Piano Technician Sr. Marshall University Huntington, WV 304-696-5418 304-617-1149
