<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I just rebuilt an SF-10 and used Abel hammers and I
was very pleased with the results. I use Ronsen hammers almost exclusively, but
I think the SF-10 needs a really strong hammer to bring out all that it's
capable of producing. I didn't want to go through all the work of bringing up
the tone with the Ronsen.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi, all. I am about to replace the hammers on a Baldwin
SF10 that has had the hammers filed about 2 years ago. It helped for
awhile, and now it sounds like a tin can again (the player's words). It
has the jangling duplex sounds from the front duplexes in the killer
range.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> I am wondering if Ronson Bacons would be
the best choice, or the Wurzen's? I guess the question is to voice up, or
voice down? The piano is in a large church, and needs a little
"bite". </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> Do you think the Bacons will come into the
sound we want, or should we start with something a little firmer to start
with?</FONT></DIV>
