Paul, I must say that the ones I did were 4 years ago. I usually used the Spurlock hammer jig for narrowing the hammers and taking of weight. I use a gram scale, pre-weigh them (I use a chart) pass them through the jig, re-weigh until I have a nice line for the weight I'm looking for. The ones I got from Steinway were the same hammers I get from them right out of the box put on any shank you want. Once the hammers were on the shanks I had no control and they were too heavy and bulky. Sometimes the boring angle was a little off on a few which made the line look not so professional to me. I could take the hammers and "shape" them but that extra control wasn't there for me. The piano was OK but I expected more out of it. I might be getting too picky. They might be much better now. It might be worth a try again. Randy Ellen Chastain -- Regards, Jon Page -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
