[pianotech] FW: Unknown hammers

I'd say Pfreimer on the hammers.  I'm mystified as to how a hammer can be that worn (as in the second picture) and still be slightly over striking.  When new they must have been hitting the string at 11:00.

Hello all,
I have a piano that has a mystery set of hammers and shanks (long story).  Short story is that someone almost did a hammer job, but unfortunately it never happened.  There's no one to ask about it now, so I'm wondering if anyone might have a guess as to the manufacturer of the new hammers.  The second attached photo is just to give you a sense of how worn this piano is.

Thanks,
Zeno Wood
