Greetings,

               I would like to replace an old upright Becker Brother's hammers. What are the best hammers for old turn of the century pianos? What hammers have the best quality?


Thank you

I  recently  installed a set of Ronsen hammers in a 1902 Smith and Barnes upright.  The customers are thrilled with the warm rich tone they consider to be "authentic."   A small amount of hammer hardener was needed in the 6th and 7th octave to brighten them.  The rest of the hammers required no additional voicing.
