It must by now be very clear to you that there is, of course, a limit=20 to hammer weight (and btw friction, we just had that profound friction=20= discussion). These Steinways were designed to play well and give a perfect tone.=20 When you buy heavier hammers, you cause big leverage problems and=20 friction problems so my answer would be : make sure you got the=20 'perfect hammers', install your new hammers, make a very powerful=20 regulation, tune da thing and use all your voicing experience. I have come to the conclusion that you can change the tone of an=20 instrument completely by this procedure. The path you choose while=20 making the first voicing will decide the final tonal outcome. If this=20 instrument is 'healthy' you can bring it very far and probably far=20 enough, without any spielerei like heavier hammers, tons of hammer=20 dope, or whatever. With the right hammers and the right skill you can turn almost any=20 concert animal into a roaring monster.
