steinway over hardened hammer

[Horace Greeley]

Quoting David Love <davidlovepianos@earthlink.net>:

> Needling up is not possible on a lacquered hammer. 

Not necessarily.  As with all "rules", there are exceptions which define 
them.  Much depends on the state (type, shape, etc) of the hammer before it 
is hardened; and, much depends on what is used as a hardener and how.

Until the hammer is killed by overneedling.
