<DIV>List,</DIV>
<DIV>Just finished my 5th installation of Wurzen hammers on a 1977 =
Mason &
Hamlin A. By far, the most incredible set of Wurzen/Ronsen =
hammers I have
experienced. After doing a fine regulation and moderate needling, the =
piano
grew 2-3 feet in length. No kidding, the bass on this bass ranked with =
any 9ft
properly voiced piano. I know it's hard to imagine. The quality of =
tone was
absolutely pure, beautiful, clear, and full of color, with a ffff =
that
rattled the windows. All of this with absolutely no percussive, noisy, =
harsh
sounds....and no hardeners.</DIV>
<DIV>The owner is a well, respected piano teacher in the area. Her =
inspection
piece was one of the Chopin Ballads. Half way through the piece I =
saw a
tear drop down from her cheek, from that point, I lost it and =
teared-up as
well. By the end of the piece, she stood up from the piano and was =
completely
incapable of voicing any words and just sobbed. From the faintest =
ppp to
the full out fffff, the dynamic range on these hammers is still hard =
to
believe.</DIV>
<DIV>What a testament to a job well done. Thank you, thank you =
Ray
Negron and Ronsen Co, for making such a great hammer =
available to
our industry. Wurzen felt rules!!!</DIV>
