I'm not familiar with "modern" Bechsteins -- the B family rather blotted their copy-book in England during the war and they're rather rare. The latest models are very different from in 1966 too. I suggested this only because you say the hammers are not original and Helmut Abel is best qualified to identify and make the hammers that were originally on it. Whether you need the underfelted hammer, the assymetric moulding etc. I can't say, but he will know because he worked for Renner at the time. You can contact them and ask. JD
