[pianotech] Yamaha Hammer Suggestion

[David Love]

I'm not sure why you would be reticent to post because of the discussion so
far or why your armor is up.  Contributions are just information with some
of the points being raised on how to best answer your initial question which
functions as a good point of departure on the general topic.   Hammer
selection is important and should be a custom process taking into
consideration each piano, each venue and each customer.  Unfortunately, the
choices are often made in terms of which supplier one likes or what's
familiar or what's popular.   That can lead to unsatisfactory results and
lots of extra work all the way up to putting on a different set.  So it
turns out there are a few possible choices for this piano and the best thing
is to assess the situation and the particular needs and then, if possible,
sample some hammers to see what gets you close to what you are looking for.
Not every piano gives you the same number of choices.

Gentlemen,
 
With all due respect to the vast knowledge and experience this list holds, I
appreciate your continued discussion on this subject.  As tends to be the
case in this forum we answered the question and then found fault with the
person or person's need to perform better or become more educated.  In a
brief question in an email it is impossible to relate all of one's thoughts
towards an entire project.  I simply wanted to know if there were any
suggestions for hammers for this piano based on someone else's experience.
I realize there will be work to do beyond glue....
 
I do not claim to know it all but it would be nice to not have reticence
when it comes to asking questions.
 
My armor is up.  Respond if you must. Thank you to those who have kindly
given valid suggestions.  I'm going to work.....
