I do not agree with you...
I had my first factory training at B=F6sendorfer in Wien, and the =
emphasis
on my training there was voicing.
Their hammers are not "very hard", they are kind of medium hard, just
like most Renner hammers.


By my standards, and the hammers I deal with on a regular basis, they
are quite hard.

B=F6sendorfer uses Renner hammers and have done so for a very long time.
According to me, they have never bought Ronsen hammers nor Bacon felt
hammers.

Were you actually thinking that I said that?   I think we have a
communication problem. =20

If you don=92t believe that soundboards contribute to how a hammer will
sound on the piano, well, what can I say.  Then you should be able to
get the same tone on every piano no matter what the condition of the
soundboard as long as you use the same hammer and the piano has the same
scale tension, non?   My answer would be no.  =20

A good quality hammer is important, I will grant you that, but they are
not imbued with magical powers.   Why do I sense I will get some
disagreement on that point?  Just a feeling, I guess.      =20
