I asked Eric that precise question. He was very clear that it was weight, not volume. I suspect they take lacquer that has already been formulated in the factory: IOW, it's not "off the shelf." I know they do take it direct from the factory floor (walk over and get some). I suspect Steinway buys it at higher concentration. Or maybe they mix their own.
