I'm curious; you say you would not go "that light. It's ridiculous." Why ridiculous? I've not found it to be ridiculous at all. ddf Delwin D Fandrich Piano Design & Fabrication 620 South Tower Avenue Centralia, Washington 98531 USA del at fandrichpiano.com ddfandrich at gmail.com Phone 360.736.7563 From: caut-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Dale Erwin Sent: Monday, February 28, 2011 11:30 PM To: caut at ptg.org Subject: [CAUT] Fwd: Steinway sound-Hammer weights My goal weight on the extreme right is what I would choose to install on this piano with the high ratio, high velocity system in this piano. I would not go that light. Its ridiculous. This action has action ratio issues so we are moving the knuckle out to handle ta bit more hammer weight and removing some lead. I separated the molding from an original treble hammer. 2.26 grams. Very light. Prepping this set of raw Ronsen hammers will be quite easy to take 1 & 1/2 ish grams off in the bass and 1 in the tenor treble to make the weight listed at the left. So Ihope this has answered your question as to weather modern hammer made the old fashioned way is available for the original model of action prevalent in Pre-war Steinways Dale S.
