[CAUT] New Renner hammers

[Paul T Williams]

have you tried the "special" hammers he has for Steinway D's?  I had to do 
practically nothing other than his prep stuff on them, and the faculty and 
staff have fallen in love again with this piano in our smallest recital 
venue/classroom that seats 275.  It was so easy, I thought it was easy 
money! The Liszt Fest pianists gave glowing reviews on the piano as well. 
They're getting a bit bright, now, having been played in for a year, but 
not a problem getting them back into shape for next school year.  I wonder 
how long they last.....?

Hi Paul,
 
I LOVE Wally’s naturals. Good question. Boy, I think I prefer the Naturals 
on uprights above anything, but these Blue Points are as good and maybe 
better on grands. I think they are better than the Abels. It’s hard, 
because they are so new. Vince loves them, and Rick Baldassin helped 
develop them, so I feel like a Neanderthal compared to guys like that.

Sounds like something I might try next time.  I wonder how they would work 
on 1960's era Baldwin R's.  I have a lot of those needing new hammers.  I 
assume I order through Lloyd?  I like trying different hammers, although 
my recent favorites are Wally's Naturals where I've gotten consistant 
results.  How would these hammers compare with the Abels?
