[CAUT] Hammer-Lac

[D Marie Jones]

On the shoulders, just below the strike-point–app. 1/4" in total length on & just over the shoulder.  The solution quickly soaks into the felt.  I dip the paintbrush in the solution, wipe one of the brush sides on the solution jar lip and apply.  Hence, there is not much solution in the brush (which I prefer).  
At the Steinway Touch & Tone course, Kent taught us to use just a small drop of solution directly onto the shoulder & let it soak in.

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
