[CAUT] Weikert felt; was 80 year old S&S hammers

[David Love]

Admittedly, I question whether the felt is the magic bullet or whether the
hammer and felt making is.  Wurzen and Weikert are both good felts I am
sure.  The process of how the felt is made and pressed seems to be a much
more critical component.  We talk about that less.

Craig, Del, others,

At the Cal state convention there was a class on the Weikert felt for
hammers. One statement they made is that their felt is like the old Steinway
felt. I know the Wurzen felt is good, and this (Weikert) is supposed to be
the "best of the best". (Of course) But is this felt like the old Steinway?
Has anyone tried these hammers?

Thanks.


Thanks,
