I just got back from Yamaha's Little Red School House, and I know that they are very discouraging to the steaming idea. I mentioned that I liked to use the technique, and they said that they will give no warranty coverage to any piano of theirs that is steamed. I don't know how that would apply to new hammers, however. Clark Sprague Associate Member Detroit Chapter
