Paul,

No, I haven’t. You can bet I will though!

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?
