Sapele (mahogany) or hard maple moldings gives us more weight

believe in a “one hammer fits all” philosophy (I include myself in that
group), Ronsen is the only hammer producer that I am aware of who is making
hammers with significant variable weights and densities. Between the
Bacon, Wurzen and now the recent venture into the low density Wurzen (which
offers a nice middle ground) you can be assured of finding a hammer which
satisfies your custom needs based on the requirements dictated by different
string scales and matching soundboard design and/or condition.<U> Bravo
to Ray for being an open ear to technicians who have long sought for this type
of custom hammer production!</U>
