Piano Hammer Recommendation

Hello List,

If one HAD to replace the hammers on a early 1960's
Wurlitzer Spinet, and had no choice BUT to replace the
hammers, what would be the logical choice of hammers.

This piano sounds like a child's toy piano, but the
owner says that it sounded much better before a tuner
juiced the hammers with a solution to make them sound
better.

She refers to the tone of the piano in earlier days as
being so soft and melodic.

She is a family friend, and I have to make an attempt
to help her.

Any suggestions welcome. Yes, I already know the
opinion of many techs on the list concerning the
Wurlitzer, so to save list space, let's not go there!

Thanks!
