Hammer Weight

[Newton Hunt]

You cannot rely on just down weight to determine how heavy or light a
hammer should be.  The up weight is critical as well.  If you have an up
weight of 29 grams and down weight is 53 frams your friction is 12
grams, which is acceptable in the bass and your balance weight is 41
grams, a little on the heavy side.

If your hammer is 10 grams without a shank you are in the ball park for
a piano this size.  If you have to go lower than that you have other
problems with this action.
