Dale, I recently hung a set of Weickert Ronsens on an 85-note Steinway A, for a client who was unhappy with the tone on her piano. It appears that she had a set of overjuiced ca. 1985 Steinway hammers on there. The Wickerts took a light juicing with 1:4 lacquer throughout the scale, and the tone fell right into place with relatively little needling. The client is ecstatic about the tone - it is on the bright side, has a good dynamic range and maintains its quality at low dynamic levels, right through ppp - which was her main concern.
