While I admit that it is limited, my experience with this (for voicing) is that, in the viscosities needed for voicing piano hammers, there is (virtually) no audible difference. Yes, there is some - but my sense was that the differences could be accounted for just as readily by differences in hammers/hammer sets. I am not familiar with what Behlem presently produces, but their older products (as well as those of a similar nature) are actually formulated for use in French polishing, a very different process. Still, that certainly does not mean that one cannot get good results. I remember seeing some instruments years ago in a city which shall remain nameless that had had their hammer hardening done by a solution of plain white sugar and water. It worked...sort of. Produced rather a sweet sound. (Sorry - bad joke. It's still early, and I haven't had my morning coffee yet.) Best.
