Sorry, should have thought of mentioning this before. <br>

These numbers correspond to my own experience. Once the piano is
"voiced",<br>
"brought up", whatever euphonism one wishes to use for

"playable" level, there does not seem to be a substantive
difference<br>
between hardeners as to one increasing mass more than another.<br>
