?David ? Dittos on the Ronsens...excellent color, sustain, Power.? The Steinways were on request.. ? Dale I don't know why anyone would use a Steinway hammer when you can get a Bacon felt hammer custom made and dimensioned with no lacquer from Ronsen. The hammers I've been getting from him have been outstanding. They do require an application of lacquer but I'm using one 9:1 solution through the set, maybe two applications above C6 and that is plenty to bring out the tone quality tone. That's with MacLac High Solids G-23 clear gloss lacquer (solids content do vary between lacquers). 10 grams of lacquer to 90 grams of acetone in this case. They're less expensive too!
