Hi all I am in the midst of voicing our Badwin D with the new Ronsen-Wurzen hammers. After all I read I thought there would be not much to do with them. The soundboard is original (1956) so I had to laquer.... My big mistake in the killer octave; I thought I grabbed the acetone to put some below the staple to help the fundamentals, but instead, grabbed the lacquer! After seeing what I had done, I quickly grabbed the acetone and tried to dilute what I had done. I'll check it out Sunday or Monday after all has dried, but; Have I ruined these hammers?!?!? I thought the Ronsen's didn't need laquer and such. I was disappointed with the initial response. Now, the bass is good with a 4:1 laquer treatment on the lower shoulders--twice in the single strings, but the killer octave area is really weak and tinny. I'm sure it's the soundboard, but I can't afford to replace it til next summer. The top end is nice and the middle is so, so... Please help!! Can I remedy this for a year?
