Hi all. I recently met up with a set of Imadegawas that needed to 'whisper'. The reason for the whisper is because there's a player system attached to it, and of course, it's too loud. I was surprised at how much Acetone and Controlled Steam voicing these hammers were able to take...but. They're still as hard as concrete and they're not whispering yet. They're still too hard for needles. I soaked the hammers 4x in Acetone and steamed them 4x and 5x in the bass. That seems like alot for any hammer to take, and they're still rock hard. Any suggestions..short of changing them out, which is not an option? Thanks, -Phil Bondi(Fl)
