[pianotech] Kawai hammer

[Don Mannino]

Kawai has been known to use Ash wood in hammers before.  It sort of looks like that.

But, well, I'm not sure about it.

  Paul,


  It almost looks like a form of plastic material when you view it in person. The wippens are that a type plastic material, light beige in color as well, but they do not have surface design that the hammers have.


  I figure Don Mannino knows and will share whenever he gets wind of my query.

      Anyone know what material this upright hammer is (not the felt)?
