Hi folks.. A couple years back when this was a hot item for discussion the a couple posts were made in which it seemed like a suggestion was being made that Andre's idea for using hammer felt in conical shape for front punchings was not his idea at all and that Schimmel had been doing this for years. Not having a good enough camera at the time I couldn't really illustrate how false this idea was. Attached is a foto of both types. On the left Andre's ... known as Crescendo over there and sold by Jurgen. On the right is the cloth (not pressed felt) non-conically shaped punching that Schimmel has been using all these years. As you can see the Schimmel punching is just a standard front punching in white cloth...not green. I hope the sender of that claim a couple years back is reading. I said it then and I say it again. The pressed felt punching in conical shape was Andre's idea... and he deserves the credit for coming up with the idea.
