victor kam Full Member Registered: 12/17/02 Posts: 390 Loc: Malaysia	When I look at the Abel website, it shows many different hammers for Bosendorfer, Grotrian, Yamaha and so on. What is diferrent about them? Are they different in density, hardness or something else? Thanks. _________________________ vk Yamaha CS (8ft 3in), #1198650, Ari Isaac's Goldpoint hammers on WNG shanks and Profundo S bass strings. Kawai KU-2 (stock standard); Casio PX-3 keyboard

Canada	The shape of hammers for the North American market are sometimes different than what is installed by European instrument makers. Also there is the way the felt is applied to the moldings…hot press…cold press…… double-wrapped and single wrapped ………varying widths and lengths…… lots to choose from with Abel. _________________________ Dan Silverwood www.silverwoodpianos.com http://silverwoodpianos.blogspot.com/ http://www.facebook.com/SilverwoodPianosDotCom "If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur."
