John Musslewhite rote, 5/25: <<And finally, a customer has a Steinway M which had new (factory) hammers in the seventies but they were never lacquered. The customer complains the tone is too bright but the fibres just shred when they are filed and needles drop in by gravity.>> <<.... but he's concerned it won't be a Steinway anymore unless it goes back to the factory (at a cost of over $20 thousand CDN) and even then if he does any parts replacement it won't be as "historical" as it is now. >> I'm glad he's not my customer! Sheesh, he's deaf as a doormouse. Bill Ballard, RPT "She will slap you, she will kiss you, NH Chapt, PTG you will fall in love with her" from a promotional t-shirt for Kendrick rock'n'roll amps.
