? Hi David ?Some of the test sheets were harder in the trebles & this is a option we are exploring as we tweak the felt manufacture. The differences right now are not in the pressing. The set I put on the Kawai was perfect without juice except the bass which I put about 4 drops of 11 to?1 lacquer(break in solution)?right on the crown & instantly gave enough bite to blend with the tenor trebles. I will report how this piano?is playing in shortly. ? I think the possibilities here represented by the Weickert product could be revolutionary. ?Thanks David ? Dale ? ? I would still like to see this hammer hardened starting gradually from about F#5 to the top either in the press or by some pretreatment.? I would prefer that sets at this level not require any hardening except perhaps at the extremes.? Even with that, at least with the one set I installed, it performs very well. ? One other thing, I would like to see yet another iteration with an even firmer pressing overall for use on big performance pianos or pianos that simply require a firmer hammer.? That would give what I have been looking from a hammer manufacturer for a long time which is a hammer that can be ordered with three different pressings (soft, medium, firm) creating a starting point that one could choose depending on the requirements of the piano and/or customer.? ?? ?
