Boston verts break-in? (xpost)

[DCrpt@comcast.net]

         Boston Verticles tend to be less brighter than new Kawais.I agree 
with Richard that a good hammer fileing will bring up the tone,also check 
regulation especially lost motion.These hammers are the hard pressed kind,so 
shoulder needleing can create some resilliancy and bring up the tone.Acetone 
and keytops(used spareingly)on the crowns may be needed if they want a little 
zing or attack brightness.                              Robin Olson
