I can not say anything about American made Steinways but I know they=20

PS. the hammers made by Ray Negron are very much different from the=20

can't imagine that these hammers are unworkable on a Hamburg. Although I onl=

the occsasional one I have installed Ronsen hammers in a 1915 ish O & the=20
results were very good. The difference between voicing approaches as I see i=

These are the obvious voicing styles/prefrences of the 2 different factories=

Personally I like both sounds but dislike the intense amount of needle work=20
required on some sets of Renner hammers (available to us) and the resultant=20
brittleish sound. I am aware that the version you have is different but for=20=

only available thru Stwy New York for $800.00 Yikes. So can we order from yo=

less money?
