List,

    Can someone who's "been there, done that" give me a
recommendation for hammers for this 'A' that will get me
as close as possible to the tone quality and weight of the
original hammers?
    My Atlas is at school but the serial number is #64619,
which I believe puts it in the 20's, before Aeolian. Right?
    I'm extremely interested in getting as close to the
original as possible. The instrument belongs to a big
name Broadway producer, Stuart Ostrow, who's now on
the faculty of the Drama Dept. here and his wife plays and
coaches the students for Broadway style musicals. It was
picked out and given to them new by Frank Loesser (sp?)
another big name on Broadway, so it has a lot of
sentimental value to them.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
