<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Rodger</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I forgot to tell you that at =
this point in
time I do not use the Stwy hammers. Yeah I know many who =
do.
Resilient felt is one thing and flabby is another and I just plain like =
to know
what I'm getting. I just changed off a set that came with a 6 ish =
yr.old
model L"The Immortal series" turn of the century style case. =
Nice
board no tone.Soggy hammers. I could push them all over the molding with =
my
thumb. Just my humble opinion and preference but I've had trouble with =
hammers I
had to douse with 2 to1 or 3 to 1 lacquer to make tone. Often by =
the
time the hammers start to speak it's hard or Impossible to get needles
in.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> However I would use factory =
hammers if they
were better but to my knowledge the presses and procedures are still the =
same.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Enough said. =
Flame suit at
the ready.</FONT></DIV>
