Here's a classic Newton Hunt 'ism on that general subject that was just too good not to save. :-) Avery I love Ronson hammers on Asian pianos, they become lovely musical instruments. I like Abel's for most every other piano. I like Isaac's for high quality pianos. I don't like Renner hammers, too much work to make them sound nice. I like Asian hammers in the trash bin. My opinions and like most opinions are not suitable for human consumption.
