Piano Once Belonged

John Musslewhite rote, 5/25:
<<And finally, a customer has a Steinway M which had new (factory) hammers in
the seventies but they were never lacquered. The customer complains the tone
is too bright but the fibres just shred when they are filed and needles drop
in by gravity.>>

<<.... but he's concerned it won't be a Steinway anymore unless
it goes back to the factory (at a cost of over $20 thousand CDN) and even
then if he does any parts replacement it won't be as "historical" as it is
now.  >>

I'm glad he's not my customer! Sheesh, he's deaf as a doormouse.
