List,
    I attended a voicing class  sponsored by Steinway and presented by =
Eric Shandall this week at Steinerts in Boston.
    Eric outlined some lacquer techniques and suggested using water =
white nitrocellulose lacquer that was 12% solids by weight and thin with =
acetone 5 to lacquer 1.
   =20
    I have a source for the above mentioned lacquer, but it is 26% =
solids by weight.Logic tells me that I just need to thin this 10 to 1 to =
acheive the same ratio.   Am I on track here?
    Your comments as always appreciated.
  =20
    P.S.=20
     He applied this ratio to the strike point (3 small drops) at the =
beginning of the presentation on a note that had a weak attack . At the =
end of the presentation (90 min) the note had come up quite well.
    I'm going to try this on  20 year old B that I have just regulated =
.Hammers reshaped with very little wear .Sustain and power are good but =
the attack is very weak and the pianist would like this piano to come =
up.=20
   Mr. Shandall also outlined other methods of his voicing techniques =
that is part of a longer class he is offering next week at the upcoming =
pacific northwest convention.
    We had a nice crowd on a very snowy night and Steinerts was very =
gracious with their hospitality.
