Dear Roy, I used your trick of steaming the wippen cushions on an old Knabe grand today. I have had fits trying to get it regulated after I shaped the hammers and this solved the problem nicely. I was able to bring the hammer line back and get let-off an appropriate distance from the strings and get it to check. It made for a good day. Thank you.

Another method is similar to Roger Jolly's steam voicing technique. Remove the stack, and turn it upside down exposing the wippen cushions. Then use the hammer iron, with a slightly damp cloth, to steam out the dents worn in the cushion. It is quick and easy, and it works well.
