Hey should we start a petition to do away with petrified felt? Or perhaps just a a boycott. On the same page, same choir, same team same, same, same,........... For what it worth the Renner Weickert or Blue points is a very different hammer than the old rock hard Renner blues (a worth less hammer). Dale Del wrote Yes, well, good luck with that…. —and pianomakers—continue pressing wool felt with too much moisture and too much pressure and too much heat forcing the stuff into something having the shape—but not the soul—of piano hammers. And piano technicians continue buying these atrocities and they continue recommending the pianos fitted with them to their overly trusting customers. And then, when the pianos don’t sound “right,” they have to drag out every heroic voicing technique in the book in a desperate attempt to make those piano hammer shaped whatever-they-are musically less bad.
