[CAUT] Hammers for Steinway 45

[Paul T Williams]

I concur!  Wonderful hammers on pretty much any piano!  I have much 
success on this: Mason and Hamlin A; Steinway D (special order): 3 
Steinway M's, 2 Steinway L's, and a couple of Baldwin R's;  Very 
predictable and Wally's all day seminar helps a ton!!

Dear list
 
I have just been informed that the dance department has some extra money 
to put toward pianos and they would like to replace the hammers on a 
Steinway 45 upright.
As there is no pressure to use Steinway parts, what type of hammer would 
people suggest for use in a dance studio piano? The new studios are very 
large and spacious with cement block walls, mirrors, glass windows and 
metal ceilings and therefore have a lot of reverb. I need a hammer that 
will sound good on the piano and will cut through the sound. The main 
accompanist likes the sound of the Yamaha uprights better, so that might 
give an idea of what sound is needed.
 
Thank you for your suggestions.
 
Rex Roseman
