If there is not some solution over the top of the hammer the tone doesn't develop where it needs to go ,epecially in a concert situation. If you have the luxury of a heavy player in a non concert setting then play in time will help develop the sound without lacquers but if the top is truly too soft the solution is a great & instant tonal benifit. The top & tone is easily maintained in this case as long as the solution isn't too thick for the inherent density of the felt. Does that make any sense? Dale I absolutely defer to Eric S's teaching on the subject, but I think you will find a different practice in C&A, and my current use of whatever chemical hardener is some directly on the strke point only, and let it fall over night to the core point, then voice with needles. This, in my limited experience, is the most effecient approach. I don't want to get into a long debate but no one else has put this forward in this thread and at least a few of us are doing this for several years now with a good measure of success.
