Your best bet is to talk to a local piano rebuilder that knows about replacing hammers. You need to send samples (6-8) of your existing hammers to a hammer factory to have them duplicated. There are several companies, and the felt is in different hardnesses. This is not an easy task. If the felt is too hard, it will sound too harsh, too soft, if will be too soft. They can always be voiced, but that is labor intensive.

There are no exact to specs replacements available off of the shelf that I am aware of.

I remember Vintage Vibe had a new replacement set a while back but I'm not too sure if they still have them.
