Terry,
I've been using Ronsen Hammers for most of my 32 years. Having said =
that, I'd say YIKES! My suggestion(s) would be: 1. Play the hammers in =
for 3-6 months, before even thinking about "juicing" them! (This is =
dependant on how much you play the piano, EVERY DAY!)<G> 2. Since this =
piano is a Yamama G-1, I'd say you got used to the sound of Shattering =
Glass and now have a whole new palate of sound/tone to listen to.<G> 3. =
A 3:1 ratio (3 parts Acetone to 1 part Lacquer), is WAAAAY to strong, =
IMO. I usually use a mixture of double that rato or triple that ratio! =
(i.e. 6:1 or 10:1)!!!! 4. Most of what I have gleaned on Wurzens is that =
the bottom few, (bass), hammers usually need a little "brightening" and =
likewise the top half octave or so. Proceed very cautiously on this, =
Please!?
Okay?<G>
Very Best Regards,
Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
