<DIV>Hi Hazen. I won one of the Renner hammers with the exotic wood =
handles at
the NC conference a few years ago as a door prize. I love it. You can =
use it
like the thin-handled ones and it also has the ball shape at the end. =
Very, very
nice. It is light-weight also. I may also like it so much because =
I did
not have to pay for it! They are expensive.</DIV>

<BR> My
wife is apprenticing with me,and I bought her the nylon tuning hammer =

Schaff.I have the rosewood hammer from Schaff,and she wants one like =
it.So I
am <BR>wondering whether to order her one like mine,or maybe get a new =
one for
myself,a different kind.I've had this hammer for years,and wonder if I =
would
be comfortable switching to a different kind,there are so many new =
designs
available now,and I'm <BR>not really knowledgeable about whats =
available.I
would appreciate some input,maybe some of you have switched to a newer =
kind of
hammer. <BR>Thanks,Hazen Bannister <BR>Western Carolinas =
