A trip to Ronsen Hammer

[MICHAEL MORVAN]

Dave, Dale, List,
   I'm glad you guys finally hooked up with Ron to supply you with a product to suit your needs. I've read the posts over the years concerning the "famous maker hammer" and it's restrictions/fallbacks and read of the "brick walls" that you all were up against when speaking to the production/parts department of the same company. Just goes to show that people can be very clever and adaptive when trying to improve their product/service. High quality parts and materials are getting hard to come by these days.   Mike

    Beautiful, David
      Also the choice of light weight maple, Sapele (mahogany) or hard maple moldings gives us more  weight choices.  Interestingly Ray & I have talked about one hammer doesn't fit all & he gets that.  He is quite clear  about  other makes hammers work better in some systems.  
     That being said it's amazing to me how many pianos his various types of hammers work
   really well in.  
   We are fortunate to have him  as an ally in the technical community.
   I bought & reserved a sheet of Gorgeous 18 lb Bacon felt while I was there. Beautiful stuff.
   I know I'm a wild man

    For those who don’t believe in a “one hammer fits all” philosophy (I include myself in that group), Ronsen is the only hammer producer that I am aware of who is making hammers with significant variable weights and densities.  Between the Bacon, Wurzen and now the recent venture into the low density Wurzen (which offers a nice middle ground) you can be assured of finding a hammer which satisfies your custom needs based on the requirements dictated by different string scales and matching soundboard design and/or condition.  Bravo to Ray for being an open ear to technicians who have long sought for this type of custom hammer production!
