I did the <DIV></DIV>>Stanwood Strike Weight measurement of a few new hammers (untapered, etc.) <DIV></DIV>>that I am installing in an upright and found them to lie in the medium SW <DIV></DIV>>range on Stanwood's charts. I tried lighter hammers in those locations <DIV></DIV>>(placing a #60 hammer in the #50 position, etc.) and found tone to be thin <DIV></DIV>>but loud. I tried adding weights to hammers and found distortion occured <DIV></DIV>>pretty quickly. It seems that in my case, the untrimmed hammers are in a <DIV></DIV>>good SW range. It made me more comfortable seeing them in the middle of <DIV></DIV>>Stanwood's charts because the originals were way, way, lighter. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Terry Farrell <DIV></DIV> <P>Charts at:</P> <P><A href="http://www.stanwoodpiano.com/tech.htm">http://www.stanwoodpiano.com/tech.htm</A></P></div><br clear=all><hr>Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at <a href='http://go.msn.com/bql/hmtag_itl_EN.asp'>http://explorer.msn.com</a><br></html>
