Replacement Piano Hammers for Ampico Grand
By Ben Gottfried

Michael Swanson asks about a good hammer to use on his 6'4" Knabe
Ampico.  Oddly enough I am rebuilding one of them now.  I use Ronsen
hammers on all of my reproducing pianos.  They are hand made hammers
and they come to you all shaped and ready to hang if you request that
service.

I usually call Ray Negron, the owner, and discuss the piano I am
putting the hammers on and get his recommendations regarding the piano
and the size of the room that it is going into.  The Wurzen felt seems
to be a very good choice for most player grands.

Give Ray a call at 1-845-657-2395 and check out his website at
http://www.ronsenhammer.com/ and

Best of luck with your new hammer project!
