Dale, Since you've had a little experience working with the Ronsen Wurzen hammers, perhaps you could give us some idea of the voicing technique that works well on them. I think we're all pretty clear that on the one hand you have your Steinway type hammer that you need to build up with hardener, and on the other hand you have your Renner type hammer which you need to tenderize with needles. I'm assuming these Ronsen Wurzens are somewhere in between. Do they require that the shoulders be tenderized? Is lacquer beneficial? Is aggressive initial filing advisable? How would you characterize the tone that they give relative to other hammers that you've used? Thanks, Phil Ford > Hi Ray > Thanks. Good post & thanks for the clear mission statement & > philosophy..
