<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Would someone =
inform me a

used
them, and know that some techs swear by them as the only true antidote =
to
Japanese and German hammer voicing frustrations. I can't =

an answer to emails sent to Ari Isaac, so I'm hoping someone can =
answer my
question. His website gives mouthwatering descriptions of their =
tonal
properties, but what are they like in the weight department? Are =
they
