I believe this was also published in that first Steinway Technical  
newsletter, but I would have to actually be able to find mine to  
double check.  (I have GOT to do some straightening up around here.)

In other recent Steinway technical news, Kent Webb did a presentation  
here last month and said that the Steinway parts department is now  
giving its off-the-shelf hammers that first soaking treatment before  
they are put on the shelf for sale or production.  He said that has  
been going on now for about 4 months.
