I would also like to choose some which might help mitigate the  awful brightness of the  basic  Hamilton tone?   Thanks, Ileen Kaplan </BLOCKQUOTE> Try the Standard hammers from Schaff. As a side note, unless there just isn't any money, I would replace the hammer butts and flanges as well. Willem </HTML>
