<font size=3>Hi Phil, <br>
Abel lites have no under felt, nor do some types of Renner's, it
some times depends on what a Manufacturer or Vender specifies. In
Europe, many pianos are made with no underfelt with hammers from these
suppliers. <br>
Add Issac and Ronsen to you list for a guessing game.

Not a straight answer as usual<br>

I came across a 're-build' yesterday. Part of the improvements made
involved<br>
new hammers, shanks, etc. These hammers had no discerning inner felt. I
can<br>
tell the difference between Renners, Abels, Ronsons, etc. from the color
of<br>
the inner felt, most of the time.<br><br>
Does anyone know what kind of hammer is manufactured with no inner
felt?<br>
They sounded fine on new wire(they need a poke here and there), but I
could<br>
not tell what kind of hammer they are.<br><br>
Anyone?<br><br>
