New hammers for Hamilton school piano

[Lance Lafargue]

I've used Wally's Encores (made by Abel) and it transforms the piano.  Very
nice, round, clear sound.  Very easy to voice.

Hi  All!  I will be replacing the  hammers and reconditioning  the  action
of a Hamilton  studio  piano at a local school-  I usually  use  Isaac
hammers  on most pianos but  for this one I want to go a bit less
expensive-
any  suggestions for hammers which  be  be good for  this piano which is
often used for accompanying  choirs? I would also like to choose some which
might help mitigate the  awful brightness of the  basic  Hamilton tone?
Thanks, Ileen Kaplan
