Dale,

So did Alan specifically request non treated Isaacs? Alan, did you?

And the Abels and Renners that so many folks like, even further hardening 
them in some cases, are so hard as to be unusable with my boards. In pianos 
that don't get boards, I can use the Abels and Renners like everyone else. 
I have a cause and effect relationship with the board, far in excess of any 
differences in hammer sets from set to set. So statistically, it's not the 
hammers - it's the boards.

Do you find the Isaacs interchangeable with Renners or Abels in pianos with 
your new boards as well as with original boards, or boards built to the 
original design?
