<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello Barbara,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can't help you about the Ronsen =
Wurzen
hammers, because here in Europe, we get our Wurzen hammers from =
Renner, in
Germany.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The company I work for has been =
changing hammers
for at least 15 years on many many pianos for customers, conservatories, =
concert
pianos, etc...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Before my boss met Andre one =
year ago, he
was convinced that the Abel hammers (VFG felt) were better without =
really
knowing why. All he knew was that the Renner hammers were a bit more
expensive.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After he went to the french convention =
where Andre
and his business partner Arnold made a lecture about Wurzen felt, he =
ordered a
few sets at Renner.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since then, there has never been a =
single Abel
hammer glued on an action in our workshop.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We have ordered at least 15 sets, =
and the
result was always great. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Of course, they have to be needled, but =
it is
easier than the others, and they sound great from the =
beginning.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've not much voicing experience, but =
these are the
results my colleagues and I have observed since we only install Wurzen =
Renner
hammers.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Our next "patient" will be a Schimmel =
174 grand,
and I'm really happy because I will work on it : keyboard rebushing, =
shanks and
hammer replacement, regulation, and voicing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It's waiting for me in the workshop =
!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Great program !!</FONT></DIV>
