Greetings All, I am at present hanging a new set of Abel hammers on a 7ft. Heinzman grand. Having to do a considerable amount of Felt and Molding tapering to reduce the weight of the #1 hammer from 11.5gms to 10 gms to attain a 53 gm down touch weight, a thought has occured to me that there seems to be very little in the way of weight specs, in the various suppliers spec sheets. For those of us that have accurate scales it would be nice if we could collectively pool our results. of fist and last bass hammers and first and last treble hammers. This would help in making the decision of what to replace an old set of cold pressed hammers a littlt easier. The suppliers have come a long way in the last few years in the variety of length and width of molding choices. This extra piece of data would be the icing on the cake. If there is some one on the list that has influence with the suppliers that would make it a lot easier still. I will measure and publish the next set that I change. Regards to all.
