I= thought the Blues were made of a lesser felt and that only the= European Renners (now) use Wurzen felt.= Andre??? Peace, Sarah </BLOCKQUOTE> It= is exactly as what said, they are Wurzens because they come from= Renner and almost all hammers made by Renner are covered with= Wurzen felt. The fact that most Americans do not like these= hammers has nothing to do with the felt, but with the way they= were made, i.e. the pressure with which they were= glued. Nobody likes stone hard hammers. What is sad though= for all technicians who had no word in this nor choice,= is the fact that 'they' kept on distributing these hammers for= years, and only now are going to bring the 'better hammers' into= the US (if we may believe this). I personally never wanted to= be dependent, but rather choose my own stuff, and I have done= so. On the other hand, this (the hammer business in the= USA) is not my business, literally speaking, but you asked,= and it is a free world, at least so 'they'= say......... friendly greetings from André= Oorebeek "where Music is, no harm can= be" </BODY></HTML>
