Well...... it soitanly helps a lot.  I got the chance to rehang a
Boston and decided on Abel hammers.  Now THAT was a nice
combination. I woulda liked to have known about Stanwoodizing as I
look back on that job.

Gotta aggree with Newton hear. Able hammers in any case work very
well indeed on Yamahas and go a good ways towards changeing the
sound in the manner you describe.  I have no experience with Isaacs
and have a set of Ronsons that I have never used sitting in the
shop.
