For Roger Jolly, Your explanation of lanolin in old cold pressed hammers is very interesting. Are there any hammers being made today that still have the lanolin in them and not "baked" out? I would be interested in knowing what brands you personally like to use? I have not been real happy with many of the brands available today until I tryed a set of Wally Brook's Able Encore lights. So far, these have been the best I have used. One more question. Whenever I hear a piano played in an old movie on TV, most of them seem to have a beautiful, singing tone quality I to often. Of course, this is TV. Am I all wet here or is there something to this, perhaps the lanolin in these early hammers? Thanks Jim Turner
