<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">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?!?!? </font>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">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...</font>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Please help!! Can I remedy this
for a year? </font>
