Custom Made Hammers & New Ronsen Wurzen hammers

[Richard Brekne]

Hey, thats great news Dale

I can echo the sentiment about trying these out. This felt has the best 
feel to it I've ever run into, great out of the box sound which just 
gets better with a good voicing.  I have one set now thats been in hard 
use for 2 years (as in 30 hours a week) and they have held up 
unbelievably well.

Cheers
RicB
