      You might try Fletcher Newman in England. They offer Bechstein Style
Renner hammers. Not sure about the whippens, but you should check it out.
They also have excellent bushing felt selection. And, no need to worry
about exchange rates: they take Visa/Mastercard! But, just like the Olympics,
they DON'T take American Express!!! :-)

      Let me know if you want an address/phone.
