Hammer suggestions revisited

[Clark Sprague]

I just finished the hammer job on the Baldwin SF-10, that I asked about in May.  I ended up putting on Abel Naturals, per PianoTek's suggestion.  What a difference in the piano!  Great hammers, very little voicing, right out of the package.  Tin can sound gone, much more depth than before.  
    Try them, you'll like them (YMMV).

  Hi, all.  I am about to replace the hammers on a Baldwin SF10 that has had the hammers filed about 2 years ago.  It helped for awhile, and now it sounds like a tin can again (the player's words).  It has the jangling duplex sounds from the front duplexes in the killer range.
      I am wondering if Ronson Bacons would be the best choice, or the Wurzen's?  I guess the question is to voice up, or voice down?  The piano is in a large church, and needs a little "bite".  
      Do you think the Bacons will come into the sound we want, or should we start with something a little firmer to start with?
