---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Dick What kind of hammers first of all? I may have sniffed to many lacquer fumes in my time but I'll try to see if I can still give a coherent answer that would be useful. grin Anyway The tone is largely telling me where & how much to apply & also ...expereince. Dale ____________________________________ Just installed new hammers and strings in a rather old baby grand in a church. Obviously not even going to have best tone quality. But pianist is complained that the tone doesn't ring. I think the hammers are too soft. Regulation, downbearing and strike point are all correct. Am thinking of using the lacquer technique on the hammers. Never done this. Where on the hammer do you apply lacquer and how much. Any tips from "experienced lacquerers" would be welcomed and thanks for taking the time. Dick Day Marshall ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
