Hi Del, Those old hammers must be pretty worn and dry, and will sound awful. Can the buyer be talked into recovering or replacement? You should be able to find a pretty good match. Then it will sound much less bad than you expect, but still, you can't turn a peanut grand into a Bosendorfer concert grand. Anne Anne Beetem Harpsichords & Historic Pianos 2070 Bingham Ct.
