Softening hard 1980 Sohmer hammer advice requested.

[gordon stelter]

Am trying to soften the hammers on a 1980 Sohmer
grand, 5'7". 
The hammers are those ones with the purple underfelt,
and the yellow lacquer shoulders. ( What a  color
combo !!! ) WAAAAAAAAY too hard !!!!
Have already sanded out minor grooves, and now
planning to "sugar-coat" strike points with shallow
needling. But would prefer specific advice from
someone who has already worked with this hammer type,
in a similar predicament.

      Thanks!
      Thump
