Debra, If you are looking for enough lacquer to voice with, Steinway Parts has it. I think they sell a gallon at a time, if I remember right, which for voicing is practically a life time supply, except there is a shorter shelf life than our lives. Otherwise you will find it comes in large quanities for finishing. I have, in a pinch, used acrylic lacquer sold in auto supply stores but it is probably not the best for mixing with other lacquer already in the hammer. I must say though that the few sets of hammers I used it on sounded and continue to sound as good (3-4 years later) as any, despite predictions to the contrary.  But really the right thing is to use the Steinway lacquer. Around here we try and go in together 2, 3, or 4 people at a time and share the order, mostly because of the shelf life issue. Someone else can provide better advice regarding finishing supplies as I don't do any big stinky jobs like that.

  I'm having trouble finding nitrocellulous lacquor in paint stores.  Can someone tell me where I might find it?  Thanks
