situation with current Steinway hammers. Unless  they have quit the practice 
of "Pre-Voicing" their hammers, the above still  applies. Their "Pre-voicing" 
is simply adding a whole lot of lacquer to the  hammer, BEFORE it ever gets 
glued on in an action. 
I personally, refuse to use Steinway hammers for  this reason. It is 
extremely pretentious of them to assume that they know the  acoustical preference of 
the customer or the acoustical environment that the  piano exists in. In short, 
extremely cavalier attitude, IMHO.
It is nice that they are now, (finally!),  realizing that their pressing 
system needs some "tweeking". If they would  produce hammers like the ones they 
made back in the early part of the 20th  Century, I'd buy them in a N.Y. second, 
but alas, they don't....so I  don't.
Best  Regards,
