Good question Ed.  I believe that about 5 years is the maximum life
expectancy of hammers on a performance piano with regular use. That is
certainly my experience, and I've heard others express the same. We have 3
S&S D's in the hall, but I controll usage- or wear- so that only one gets
the majority of use at a time.
