[pianotech] Weickert hammer set pics

[Starr Taylor]

Dale, Ray & Jack,

These hammers look Great! I'm very excited about these hammers and my ears/hearing are grateful to Jack for pulling this formula off shelf 
again. I can say that I'm very tired of hard hammers and what some people call tone in this country.

I'll take the nom de plume of Hammer Head, no problem ; - )

If you haven't seen my latest promo for Ronsen, and most of you have, here's the link

   Fellow hammer heads   
     I am really excited to say  Ronsen team has successfully reproduced the density size, weight & shape of the old 1880 to 1940 Weickert felt hammer Steinway hammer. The set shown here is a 14 lb version & has a beautiful Steinway type shape. The Gold under felt will indicate the Ronsen Weickert type. We have overcome the original weight issues with the newest iteration of felt Sheets fresh from Wurzen and can now easily match any weight we want by selecting either heavier or lighter moldings and/or the 14 or 16 lb felt. 
    The smell of this felt is very organic. Very Woolly.lol
    On this set the weight will be easily met thru routine preperation the weight is easily matched if desired to the original Steinway hammer weights we commonly find. We've increased the density in the bass which results in teh stiffness required to drive the bass with only light needling. The first test sheets required very light juice on the crown in the bass and this should no longer be necessary.
   We live in a great time for technological advance or rediscovering them. Now if the economy recovers a bit we can get on with a bit more work. 
    Have a great weekend.
    Dale Erwin
