Dear List,

Earl Dunlap's post was great...
When did Steinway begin using the Merino felt again in their
hammers.  I will be rebuilding a Steinway M in the next month or
so and I had planned on using A. Issac's hammers with the
cherry moldings.  Have Steinway's hammers improved since Merino
felt was reintroduced?  My problem with Steinway hammers in the
past was inconsistency.  Is the only molding available still birch?

Thanks in advance
