[CAUT] caut Digest, Vol 1091, Issue 7

[Chris Solliday]

Rick and list,
 I have been very pleased with Ronsen Wurzen felt hammers and the Bacon felt
which I use in smaller situations and requires more hardener. Also Abel
Selects sold by Pianotek are similar to the R Ws and I have several pianos
with them on for a couple of years now and they are quite durable. Also have
some with Renner Reds and Hamburg Steinway (very much like Renner Reds). I
never did like Renner Blues much,although I have used them and they are OK
they sound great on a Yamaha C7 in a local studio but generally just not
powerful enough and not much distinction to be had between forte and
fortissimo and sforzando at those levels. I really have to work with the
Renner Reds and hamburgers to open them up. The Ronsen Wur and Abel Selects
are less work with full   dynamic range. LAcquering must be done judiciously
on these types of hammers. I don't recommend keytop except at the very top
if needed. I'm with Rick, we are very fortunate to have such a fine array of
hammers to choose from. I have no experience with Ari Issac's where do they
" fit in?"
Remember when we only had Standard, Pfreimmer, Steinway, Baldwin and then
the glorious Imadegawas? Holy  cowabunga dudes are we lucky.
