You're right, Peter, the more dense the felt is, the more it weighs. Also, different wood moldings--birch, mahogany, whatever--have dif- ferent weights, too. Therefore, even though a given set of hammers may be the same SIZE as the originals, beacuse of a different density of felt, or a different type of wood molding, or BOTH, the weight might be completely different. The only way to tell for sure is to weigh the originals and the replacements and match them up that way. You question shows that you're thinking along the right lines.
