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.<br>  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</span></div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; color: black;"> </span></div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; color: black;"> </span></div> </div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 36pt;"><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; color: indigo;">Dale S.
