To: Multiple recipients of list <pianotech@byu.edu> Reply-to: pianotech@byu.edu List, I'm preparing an estimate to replace the hammers (among several other things) on a 5'2" Marshall & Wendell grand, serial #109800. The piano is in a fairly large, uncarpeted room of a townhouse that also has no drapes or anything else to absorb sound, so it is a fairly "loud" room. Can someone recommend a brand of hammers that would have a good chance of sounding good in this particular situation, i.e. not too bright? Feel free to e-mail me privately if you don't wish to "go on record". Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. _____________________________________ Avery Todd, RPT Moores School of Music University of Houston Houston, TX 77204-4893 713-743-3226 atodd@uh.edu _____________________________________ Avery, I really like A. Issac hammers. What is really nice is you can talk with him about what you want from your hammers. Although I haven't used Ronsen hammers in a long time they are soft and if your comfortable bringing up the tone with lacquer etc.you can voice the piano to the room. Good luck in my former net life i was pnotuner@gnn.com
