Heavily played newish Mason gets "strident" too quickly...

[gordon stelter]

Just got an email inquiry from a man with a 2001 Mason
BB that he plays every day for 3 hours. Complains that
the hammers get hard and "strident" sounding quickly.
Has had 4 techs work on it and is not satisfied.
     I told him they may have mangled the hammers to
the point of needing replacement, or they might just
need regular "sugar-coating". Comments?
      Question: Are Mason hammers from this era
especialy prone to "packing". Should he consider
replacing with another brand? Any other voicing
suggestions? If replacing is deemed necessary, what
brand would be best?
 
     Thanks!
