Tom copies: << > Yes, but on the other hand if the hammers are really too soft the 5 to > 1- > will not get the hammer felt stiff enough & trying to switch to a thicker > solution (3-1) solution OK, I was all ready to go here, and then wait a minute... 5 to 1 is less thick than 3 to 1? Do I have this backwards? Is it 5 parts lacquer to 1 part thinner, or vice versa? >> 5:1 thinner to lacquer is a weaker solution than 3:1. 1:1 is half lacquer, etc. Ed Foote RPT http://www.uk-piano.org/edfoote/index.html www.uk-piano.org/edfoote/well_tempered_piano.html
