[CAUT] Hammer-Lac

[D Marie Jones]

Hi Paul, 
I've used it with good success on Steinway hammers (new & older).  Though the directions suggest a 4:1 thinning ratio (which I use on occasion when the tone is extremely "deadened", I prefer a weaker solution of 8:1 and build up slowly for very specific voicing.  I apply a very small amount of the solution with an artist paintbrush (sized the width of the hammer head)–I feel this offers more control than the "drop" method–on the shoulders.  I've had consistent results bringing up the tone in the 5th - 7th octaves, especially, when needed.

Hi All,



I just received a flyer in my package
of new bi-chord agraffes for a product called "Hammer-Lac" Voicing
Lacquer.  Has anyone used this stuff yet?



Curious,



Paul
