This morning put themon, and viola.....much improved! I think there's still hope :>)I think I just didn't have enough in the core of the hammer, nor did S&Ssoak them much. BTW: Remember Steinway's parts pricesare going up on the 21st, so order what you need now. I'm puttinga pretty hefty order to handle the next 3 rehabs: 2 M's and a B. Bosssaid go for it since I'll be ordering the stuffs anyway, so why not savesome doh-ray-me? I'll give you a follow up after completingthe other offending hammers. Thanks for all the tips.
