I still like Ronsen. They actually sound better now that they're "played in" 
a bit! Just not sure they are the best choice for the Wurly.

Replacing hammers on client's 1926 Wurlitzer baby grand. I'm seeking
recommendations on which supply co. to order from for **most** accurate
boring-for Angle AND Pitch.  Also, I'm wondering what the best hammer  would
be for this piano. I want a nice mellow tone, and easy to voice. I'm  
leaning
toward Abel, but then Schaff grand hammers look pretty decent, and  I like
that I can get them reinforced. Again, I look to this wonderful  Forum's
combined wisdom and consensus.

Cheers!
