<DIV><FONT size=2>I just finished the hammer job on the Baldwin SF-10, that I
asked about in May. I ended up putting on Abel Naturals, per PianoTek's
suggestion. What a difference in the piano! Great hammers, very
little voicing, right out of the package. Tin can sound gone, much more
depth than before. </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>
