Steinway hammers

[Roger Jolly]

Hi Susan,
           Hope you had a great time in Banff, it was very nice to meet you.
That's not such a crazy notion, I have several candidates at the university
ready for new hammers that so I can experiment and screw up, with no
repercussions.
If you are going to try this as well remember to add alcohol as a wetting
agent, otherwise the Ivory will just sit near the surface.
p.s. I love to-day's tag line.
Regards Roger
