Paul: I don't use them on Steinways but I know some who do. I prefer to use a Steinway hammer on a Steinway. It requires a lot of lacquering but it seems that I can get a broader tonal pallette. I have replaced so many sets now that I feel comfortable prelacquering them which saves a little time. They are labor intensive.
