FWIW...the parts are already overpriced.

Yesterday, I removed 2 of the most offendingly weak hammers and applied a 
fairly strong titration of lacquer:acetone from the sides right at the top 
of the molding.  This morning put them on, 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&S soak them much. 

BTW: Remember Steinway's parts prices are going up on the 21st, so order 
what you need now.  I'm putting a pretty hefty order to handle the next 3 
rehabs: 2 M's and a B.  Boss said go for it since I'll be ordering the 
stuffs anyway, so why not save some doh-ray-me? 

I'll give you a follow up after completing the other offending hammers. 

Thanks for all the tips. 

Paul
