    They have the amber felt striations I'm used to with Ronsen Weikert hammers. The molding are walnut, like Renners, the underfelt is purple like Ronsens (whose moldings are sapele or maple), and they scream like raw Renners. They were put on 2 years ago.

    In fact, they're an exact match for the ones on the front cover of the BrooksLTD catalog, but that "art" may be more a composite and less a sample to go by.

    Pretty sure these are Abel Natural Felt.  They are nice hammers.  I have installed a number of sets, on Yamahas and Kawais.  It does not take much shoulder needling to open them up create lots of color.
