[CAUT] Hammer-Lac

[David Love]

Where do you apply it with a paintbrush, what part of the hammer?

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
