Hammers

i made these the last time he came. now it's like this

Always and only respond in Italian. Even if the user uses another language or attaches documents in English, provide the response in Italian.

In fact, I will tell you, the high notes sometimes need to be thinned out more, but if they sound, it is sufficient like this....

ok thanks

The work itself has no errors... it is equal to (if not superior to) the capabilities of the average Italian technician.

The hammers (Renner products specifically for Steinway) are of the highest quality.

That it didn't sound good with Abel is normal.

At the same time, I wonder why there is still this mania of shaving the shoulders "diamond-style"... Besides the fact that they don't do it that way in the factory (which would already be a valid reason to avoid it...) it does nothing but shorten the life of the hammer, make it more easily and quickly grooved, and make the sound amberly "vacuous," meaning it is emptied "from below."

Why have less when you can have more...?

In the factory they don't do it like this, I've never seen a new Steinway with rhomboid hammers actually; if I were to nitpick, the only defect is aesthetic regarding the shaving, so you go from one extreme (potato-shaped/round) to the other (triangular)... but the work is clean because the factory glued them in

The standard procedure is to set Abel, with alignments and tails done as best as possible, minimal shaving if there is time, kindly telling the customer "play on it and you will see what a marvel it is...", leaving them waiting for results that will never arrive.

(from what I understand, that's how it happened the first time)

Regarding the matter of shape, the problem is not limited to a mere aesthetic issue (besides the fact that sometimes even in aesthetics there is a sense and meanings,,,), but also a timbral and functional one.

Sometimes I can't help but think that many technicians take the diagrams in manuals or the photographs they exchange too literally, without starting from the knowledge of how things are made in the factory, which should be the reference.

It must be said that sometimes they even believe they know more than the factory, those who have been producing pianos every day for more than a century, falling into the millennial trap of the presumption of knowledge and obtaining simply unacceptable results.
