thingiverse

Piano hammer component, a crucial element that strikes the strings to produce sound. It consists of a sturdy wooden base, a metal rod, and a felt pad attached to the end. The metal rod is typically made from steel or brass, while the felt pad is crafted from high-quality wool or synthetic materials. The piano hammer's shape and size can vary depending on its intended use, but it usually features a rounded or oval head with a tapered handle. When struck by the piano mechanism, the felt pad makes contact with the strings, producing a clear and resonant tone. Manufacturers often design their hammers to meet specific acoustic requirements, such as tone color, dynamic range, and sustain.
