[CAUT] lacquer

[Donald McKechnie]

Tom,

Purchasing the one gallon from U.S. Cellulose was not a problem last  
year. I used Parks for many years and indeed it works well. The main  
thing I wanted to get away from was the yellowing. This problem was  
not so bad on some hammers, worst one others. After seeing the  
lacquer Eric Schandall was using in the Steinway classes I just had  
to try the water white nitro. I will stick with it for now. Until  
something better comes along of course. :-)
