Hello, The same I've find for the one I've seen with new hammers, need to be played about one year to get its definitive tone for what I know. Laquering even lightly on those hammers is not the best to do, they attain their brillance naturally, if the top is laquered, you are in trouble when you will want to voice them later. A touch up with a hot iron or light filing with a thin grit is more appropriate IMHO. Best Regards Isaac OLEG Entretien et réparation de pianos.
