I have not hardened them at all as I expect they will come up = from use. The balance is indeed very good. =20 I've had somewhat longer experience with this felt on our CFIIIS that = we've had since 2000 and those hammers need very little attention. When = voiced they seem to stay voiced longer than Renners - the other hammers = I tend to use. I am a strike point voicer which makes me a heretic and = these respond so well to that. On other hammers voicing the strike = point is usually a short time thing and they come up quickly. With this = felt it doesn't. I don't know why or how. =20 =20 I'd really recommend ordering a set as I can't think of a possible = negative outcome. If you can voice any hammer, you can voice these. =20 dave =20 __________________________ David M.
