Hi Alicia, The hammers I think you're talking about are from Wally Brooks. They're Abel "Natural Felt" hammers and I really enjoy working with them.

I've tried all sorts of hammers from grands uprights, etc but none that are to my likeing, I've managed to rake up some experience over last 3 years or so, and never crossed a piano thats as weird as mine. Speaking of hammers, I read in April addition of PTG journal about new type of hammers, that arent bleeched etc, anyone experienced them yet?

If you get dull tone plucking the string, there probably won't be much you can to with the hammer.
