---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment The Thumper said: " I just got a little Steinway "S" grand to rebuild. I haven't done a Steinway in a while, so I am humbly requesting advice regarding from whom to buy the hammers, shanks and wippens. ( And a little explanation of why, if its not too much trouble. ) Merry Christmas and a very Happy New year to all !" First of all, Back attcha with the wishes. To all the Same.<G> I would strongly recommend Steinway, NEW YORK parts. They are much better than in the past. And, the consistency is adequate. (Repinning and gramming still required, as always.) As I am a strong proponent of ROUND hammer shanks, this is the way I go. One exception: I hate the sound of lacquered hammers, so....I use Ronsen. (Either the "European felt" or the Wurzen!!!) I find an inconsistancy with others parts, that I don't like to deal with. Hence my use of Steinway parts. BTW, the gal at Steinway that is in charge of "Parts", is really good to deal with, IMO.
