Heavy hammers

[Ted Simmons]

The key information is that the piano was fine before the new hammers were
installed on the old shanks.  I have no more information than that.  I don't
know who did the job nor what hammers were used.  No I didn't weigh the
hammer/shank assemblies.  I placed the two together for comparison and saw
that the old hammers were massive compared to the new hammer.
