Hi Don
  What part of the scale were your samples placed in  & how many sticks on 
average was achieving the desired effect?.
  This sounds like the description of battery voicing  Andre had outlined.. 
I'll try this.
    Thanks

I put  some samples of the Ronsen hammers with Wurzen felt on a Kawai piano 
for  use in a voicing seminar in North Carolina a couple of weeks back.  I  
think those who heard them in the class would agree that they sounded very  
nice.

The initial tone was a little too soft, so I first shaped  them a little to 
get a more uniform shape (they were a little lopsided)  and fit the strike 
point to the strings.  They still needed a little  more, so I filed them 
with 1,000 grit sandpaper a little up and over the  strike point.  This 
helped a little more.  Finally I deep  needled them at the widest point - 9 
and 3 O'clock, with the needles  pointing up towards the tip of the molding, 
but not passing over the  molding.  This increased the power quite a bit, 
and the class agreed  that they didn't need any more.
