<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> In answer to your =
question about
Isaac hammers, get in touch with Bob Barrett in Ithaca NY. He's an =
associate in the directory and operates a rebuilding shop in =
Ithaca. He
gave a technical last week to the Southern Tier chapter on voicing and =
talked at
length about Isaac hammers. He is a real booster of them, has been =
to his
facility, and speaks very highly of his products. He can give you =
info in
detail about his experiences. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>With all this talk of hammers and related voicing topics, I am =
seeking
pros and cons of Ari Isaac's hammers. Anyone using =
them? He
is willing to use different mouldings (for weight) and can cut them to =
different widths. Sounds very technician-friendly. Plus, =
he gets
his felt from Bacon, who will do the felt to Isaac's specifications, =
which is
apparently different than anyone else's hammers.
