Hi Guys I am going to try Water & alcohol on a brand new set of Renner blues that are just to Blasted hard tomorrow. I'll try straight alcohol first & then work my way up. My friend, Starr Taylor, in Florida just reported that he used 50% alcohol & water on some "Rock hard felt" brand hammers in some school Yamaha P-22's with very good success. Mr. Taylor reports having to apply several applications to get the solution to penetrate down to the core. The results were tonally satisfying & cheaper than new hammers. Heaven forbid. Dale Mr. Bondi, Ditto to Jon's suggestion. I treated a gray market G2 yesterday that was the loudest, clangiest Yamaha I've heard in a long time. I squeezed the shoulders with a small 6" vice grip and even resorted to lateral needling at 11:00 and 1:00 o'clock to bring these bricks down. The thing doesn't sound great, but it is at least playable Tom --Big Papi --Driscoll ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
