[pianotech] Fwd: Ronsen Hammers

[David Love]

I was thinking of that wiry sound and generally in those cases I prefer to
go softer to try and minimize, well, what you hear.  Disconnecting the
action totally seems too extreme, though tempting.  I don't know this model
off hand but still with the small uprights I prefer them a bit darker.  

 

Originally I was thinking grand piano where the tensions are a bit higher
and often that piano will want for something a bit firmer, assuming
reasonable soundboard health.

Just curious how that would change your opinion David. It's actually not a
Hamilton - very similar though - a model 4021. Looks to be a couple inches
shorter than the Hamilton. It has the full-size action of the studio
upright, but shorter height. It has the keys that you sometimes see on a
short console where the capstans are on a separate piece of wood glued to
the underside of the main portion of the key.

 

IMHO, they sound much the same as the Hamilton - lots of obnoxious whining.

Oh, was it a Hamilton?  Missed that.  That might change my opinion.

David has it right here. 
 Samples for the piano and the acoustic environment are always a safe bet.
What A Baldwin Hamilton DOES NOT NEED is a stiffer hammer but less stiff.
Not soft but not overly stiff. My goal; would be to render mute the
obnoxious whining from the funky string scaling.
