<font size=3>Hi David,<br>
Thank's for the compliment, one word like that makes it all worth
while. The high light for me was the Gershwin concert, I
can't remember when I last heard a Steinway D that good. Dale did
an incredible job.<br>
Chatting with the pianist afterwards, he also could not remember when he
last played a better Steinway. Jokingly, I reminded him. It
is not a Steinway but a Dale Erwin. He just broke out laughing.
:-D<br>
A great convention.<br><br>

I enjoyed your class last week. Phil Ford just delivered a
SD-10? 1981...it acually only says SD on the plate...he installed
Ronsen Wurzen hammers and the piano is very nice. He lacquered the
top only. I do have a slightly weak spot at the top of the
1st treble section that I might lacquer...sort of a continuance of his
high treble lacquering. All in all the piano has plenty of
everything, but I'm still getting to know. <br><br>

Hi Jeff,<br>
Try the Ronsen, Werzen felt. It will be very close. They were a
softer cold pressed hammer, usually juiced in the top and bottom octave.
Use 4:1 lacquer to lacquer thinner. Let harden for 2 or 3 days
before further voicing for best results.<br><br>

To work well, the hammer needs to be a bit softer and more flexible in
the shoulder. To be quite honest, I have no problems working
with this system.<br><br>

Nor do I. I much prefer the tone of our 1982 SF to the tone of the
1994's. It's much easier to tune, but that may be in the
hammers. I'd love to know what those earlier hammers were, so I can
replace the newer ones with something similar. I can't stand the
sound these 1994 hammers produce.<br><br>
