Julia, This is definitely good advice from David. I have had the opportunity to shape and voice over 2000 sets of Steinway hammers. They are excellent hammers, but I have always used Ronsen hammers for replacements, except when Steinway or another brand is requested by a customer. May I suggest the new Weickerd felt from Ronsen. I am very impressed with them. Al -------------------------------------------------- From: "David C.
