And one of the big problems is tuning :
They have a torque of around 1800 Newton. Man, that's insane!
The other weakness is that their highest notes often don't hit the 
sweet spot.
For that reason we have developed better Bechstein hammers with a much 
thinner molding.
Figure it out.

This high treble molding is a replica of the old Bechsteins. With this=20=

treble hammer you will have no treble problems because the highest=20
treble molding is no thicker than 2,5 mm.
Amp;e room for error!
