>Would you recommend that I replace the hammer-but material with buckskin?

YES - and check that the "nap" follows the same direction as the jack movement..

>>and replace all the felts under the wippens? Do you think this might improve the touch a bit? 
Yes - it should certainly feel less "notchy" at the point of let off...

>What is your opinion on key weights?

- a touchy subject <GRIN>...
