Thanks, Harry (new member) > Harry, List, The hammers could be filed to remove some of the felt. However, the liquid plastic that was injected was probably not a sufficient percentage ratio, and rightly so, for an initial voicing to get an idea of what the outcome would be. More plastic to acetone ratio will definitely bring it up bright and keep it up, if that is what you want. And if for some reason that doesn't last, which I can't imagine, you can combine the hardner mix on filed hammers. Double whammy! Eventually, you will arrive with bright sounding hammers. If all these measures are done, the only thing you won't be able to accomplish, having it ever be the original sound you mention.
