Wretched S&S & Yamahas

[Farrell]

Hi Newton. Your answer appears to not be what I expected. Is this so? Are
you saying that you have NOT noticed that the piano has good power with
Abel, Isaac or Ronson hammers - i.e. a Yamaha does not have good power when
its hammers are replaced with Abel, Isaac or Ronson hammers? I think I know
your answer, but please clarify. Thank You!  :-)
