[pianotech] Steinway Console Piano Hammers

[Gerald Groot]

I spilled enough to soak into the hammers about half way in or more.  I was
afraid it would make it softer.  It's already to soft as it is.

No experience, Gerald, but I'd guess the effect will be neglible, depending
upon how much you spilled.  How much did you spill??  ;-]

If anything, I'd imaging the protek to have a softening effect, and again,
depending upon how much you spilled, you may want to bring equipment to
lightly file the hammers and/or keytop and acetone.  I suspect you'll be
fine, but if it were me, I'd prep for voicing.

Hi List,

 

Well, I did something stupid today.  I was almos done working on an action
in my shope when I grabbed a bottle of Protek CLP, I opened it up and almost
dropped it.  BUT, in the process of dropping it, I spilled some onto the
striking point of about 4 hammers in the mid treble section.  Never had that
happen before.  I imagine it will mess up the tone of these hammers?  I'm
hoping it won't but, what are your suggestions?  This just happened about 1
hour ago.  I hate it when stuff like that happens!!!

 

Thanks,

Jer
