It looks like this is the other side of the discussion that is going on in
the Pianoworld technician forum:

Richard,

With all due respect, I'm concerned about your approach to the voicing. The
red flag for me was using steam on an Abel hammer. Abel hammers respond well
to tradition needle voicing, and I would never choose to use steam on a
hammer like this. If you have a client with discriminating taste, you may
need to call in a tech who is a voicing specialist. I have done this on more
than one occasion, and it has been very insightful. The client will usually
appreciate that you are willing to bring in someone with more experience -
they will feel that you really want them to be taken care of. You may also
gain some very valuable information.
