A trip to Ronsen Hammer

[Erwinspiano at aol.com]

Beautiful, David
    Also the choice of light weight maple,  Sapele (mahogany) or hard maple 
moldings gives us more  weight  choices.  Interestingly Ray & I have talked 
about one hammer doesn't  fit all & he gets that.  He is quite clear  about  
other  makes hammers work better in some systems.  
   That being said it's amazing to me how many pianos  his various types of 
hammers work
 really well in.  
 We are fortunate to have him  as an ally in the  technical community.
 I bought & reserved a sheet of Gorgeous 18 lb Bacon  felt while I was there. 
Beautiful stuff.
 I know I'm a wild man

For those who don’t  believe in a “one hammer fits all” philosophy (I 
include myself in that  group), Ronsen is the only hammer producer that I am aware 
of who is making  hammers with significant variable weights and densities.  
Between the  Bacon, Wurzen and now the recent venture into the low density Wurzen 
(which  offers a nice middle ground) you can be assured of finding a hammer 
which  satisfies your custom needs based on the requirements dictated by 
different  string scales and matching soundboard design and/or condition.  Bravo  to 
Ray for being an open ear to technicians who have long sought for this type  
of custom hammer production!
