[CAUT] HELP

[Paul T Williams]

Hi all
 

I am in the midst of voicing our Badwin D with the new Ronsen-Wurzen 
hammers.  After all I read I thought there would be not much to do with 
them.  The soundboard is original (1956) so I had to laquer.... My big 
mistake in the killer octave;  I thought I grabbed the acetone to put some 
below the staple to help the fundamentals, but instead, grabbed the 
lacquer!  After seeing what I had done, I quickly grabbed the acetone and 
tried to dilute what I had done.  I'll check it out Sunday or Monday after 
all has dried, but;  Have I ruined these hammers?!?!? 

I thought the Ronsen's didn't need laquer and such.  I was disappointed 
with the initial response.  Now, the bass is good with a 4:1 laquer 
treatment on the lower shoulders--twice in the single strings, but the 
killer octave area is really weak and tinny. I'm sure it's the soundboard, 
but I can't afford to replace it til next summer.  The top end is nice and 
the middle is so, so...

Please help!!  Can I remedy this for a year? 

Paul
