thick or thin

hello,

Original Hamburg Steinway are the thinnest punching on earth (white
0.8 mm I guess)
More stability and immediate response.
I like the Yamaha ones (medium/thick but springy enough)
On other I use Casmir punching, they are hard enough.

I used once big whites one from Apsco (?) and had to change them,
really too soft, regulation almost impossible even if ironed.

Regards

Isaac OLEG
