[pianotech] brightening the hammer tone

[wimblees at aol.com]

Where the top of the molding touches the bottom of the hammer felt, as per the tt&t in the June Journal?  

To answer Brain's question, shouldn't lacquer only be added to S&S hammers?

 I've heard of shoulders, heads, and crowns, but never a nose. What area do 
you consider to be the nose?
