I have simply used Steinway D hammers and lacquered them for the Ds  
under my care, thus far, and I am happy with the results, as are my  
"clients." I use any number of different hammers for Bs and smaller,  
and haven't come upon any that I can't work with (mostly Abel and  
Renner products), though some are easier to work with than others. I  
don't have the time to change out hammers all that often, and  
certainly don't have "time to waste" on them, as in experimenting and  
then deciding that set didn't work and changing them out. It has to  
work, period. (I have plenty of money for parts, just not enough time  
to put them on and set them up - and they have to be ready to go when  
the fall semester starts, little down time).
Regards,
Fred Sturm
