A trip to Ronsen Hammer

[vince mrykalo]

Well, it's hard to beat them on Steinway grands.  However, the upright hammers Jurgen Goering sells (PianoForte Supply) made by Abel, 11mm wide, special execution for large uprights, have been the best for old large uprights.  I still like Blues on Baldwins and Isaac's on Knabes better, but that's just me.

Marshall & Wendall player baby grand sounded great out of the box. Wurzen AAA

Early 1900s Everett concert grand refurbished.  The hammers needed a little play-in but did so very nicely.  Would juice them up a little at both ends of the compass if the piano was in a large hall, but it sounds very nice without a snarl where it is.  Also Wurzen

    Hi Mike
   Good to connect a face with that impressive New York voice.
   Your post is a important piece of the puzzle. That being said, if the other guys on the list who have used The Ronsen hammer chimed in, they could  catalogue all the variety of makes of pianos this hammer works well, the list would be long.
  I'll start. Steinway uprights & grands, Mason & Hamlin, Baldwin, Steinert, Milton, Fischer to name a few from this shop.
  Ok Any body else?

   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
