Softening hard 1980 Sohmer hammer advice requested.

A Hammer transplant....it's the only answer

Am  trying to soften the hammers on a 1980 Sohmer
grand, 5'7". 
The hammers  are those ones with the purple underfelt,
and the yellow lacquer shoulders.  ( What a  color
combo !!! ) WAAAAAAAAY too hard !!!!
Have already  sanded out minor grooves, and now
planning to "sugar-coat" strike points  with shallow
needling. But would prefer specific advice  from
someone who has already worked with this hammer type,
in a similar  predicament.

Thanks!
Thump
