I believe the only hammer like this in America cost about 800 dollars and
it is sold by the Steinway factory. I heard a couple of sample hammers
in a piano and I confess I was impressed. But two hammers is not really
a fair assesment for me however my friend has used a couple of sets
on larger steinways and he loved the sounds. But 800 bucks is to rich for
my blood. What do these hammers cost in Europe? If it's less than half
of 800 I'll try a set.</font></font></font>

<p><br>Hi Dale...
<p>I just spent about 800 dollars on a set of these and a set of Renner
shanks together over here. Cant imagine why these should cost that much
for the hammers alone in the states... unless somebody is making some big
bucks along the way for pushing paper.
