Dale,  


It's rather interesting that the Yamaha felt wasn't as hard as you might  
think.  In fact, when I weighed the Yamaha hammers comparing them to the  
Ronsen's, that I prepped, the weight wasn't that much different.   Somewhere in 
Yamaha's process, they started pressing the felt harder and  harder.  Whatever the 
difference, the bloom of the tone is  spectacular!  Yes, it must have a 
working soundboard.

Dale  gets my full agreement on his use of the Ronsen hammer with Bacon  
felt.  I just completed a change of hammers on a Yamaha S-400B using  the Bacon 
felt and I believe it is one of the most beautiful sounding  instruments I have 
ever heard.  I would welcome any of my colleagues  to hear this piano.  
The only thing I have done to the felt is to give the hammers a hard  shaping 
and the tone is spectacular.

  Bruce this is good to hear & have confirmed by  others. Wow an S-400.  I 
thought that piano needed hard hammers!.   OH...it must have a working 
soundboard....grin
