Arnold, I've seen this "drying out" comment made on other posts. My thought, after reading the explanations of how to use the steaming method, is how much steam actually gets into the hammer. You don't hold it in the steam. You just insert and immediately remove, according to what I've read. So I wouldn't think there would be any drying time to speak of. Especially more than 30 min. or so, if that. Am I thinking along the right line? Avery Todd University of Houston atodd@uh.edu P. oops - P.S. I think I'm going to get one and try it, too. Especially on our practice room grands.
