[CAUT] Getting lacquer out of hammers

Hello,

I know that there is a thread about this somewhere in the list archives, but the archives went away with the server move and won't be back in time to do this over Winter Break, if possible, so...

I have a set of overlacquered Steinway hammers sitting on the shelf here at SFSU that I would love to be able to re-use - since our parts budget here is fast disappearing into the 12 billion dollar California deficit. Is there any way to get most of that lacquer out of these hammers, and if so, how?
