Steam Caution

[RustRazor@AOL.COM]

I too have had good results with steam on a piano with hammers that could 
benefit with overall darkening.  I learned the trick at a PTG convention, 
demonstrated by touch weight guru Dave Stanwood.  

I use an electric teapot and hold each hammer over the spout for between 1/2 
and 1 second.  Works like a charm and is a lot quicker than needling 88 
hammers.
