Renner hammers are apparently different from what they were one year ago, since they have a new press. Steinway(NY) has improved their hammers, as has Abel. All of us have tried to improve our product, since standing still is really falling behind. As for "cold pressed", one manufacturer has stated in a class that using less than 160 Fahrenheit could be considered a cold pressed hammer, since, at that temperature, the properties of the felt are not changed. I do not know what temperature, if any, Renner uses with their new press. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________ Ray Negron Ronsen Piano Hammer ray@ronsen-hammer.com ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
