It has been my limited experience that hardening them will just make them tinny enough to peel paint off the walls. The music rack situation is a very easy fix. Piano Man Products has a wide music stand that works on all of those flip down racks like the Yammy Uis, Kawai NS-20s, the K series etc. Visit there site at www.Adapt-A-Stand.com <http://www.adapt-a-stand.com/> Ken Schneider -----Original Message----- From: Michael Magness [mailto:IFixPianos at yahoo.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 03, 2010 8:45 AM To: Pianotech List Subject: [pianotech] Hardening Hammers in Pearl River ContinentalConsole??????? To the List I have had a situation thrust upon me and am looking for any advice. A high school vocal teacher purchased a Pearl River Continental style console for his classroom, had dollies and a Dampp-Chaser installed prior to delivery. The dealer did everything in their power to convince him to go with a studio piano but he only had enough in his budget for this one. He is now whining that isn't loud enough, the music rack, one of those little flip down things about 14 to 16" wide isn't very good and the dealer called me. They want to know if I can harden the hammers Does anyone have any experience hardening the hammers in a new already fairly bright asian piano, successfully? I don't believe exchanging the piano is an option. Mike -- I intend to live forever. So far, so good.
