Hi Roger and all, sorry if this is redundant but I've been popping in and out of this thread. I saw today a fresh out of 3 years storage Samick grand, installed in a new house with marble floors and plaster walls. Besides being 70c flat it is horribly bright. The treble hammers are so hard they are beyond the 'hard rubber' and approaching the ceramic stage, no give at all under fingers or needles. Is steam a viable option here? I have yet to experiment with steam at all except for opening joints and bending wood. I've got no idea what was initially used on these hammers, they are hardly worn, and anything that might open them up without replacing (although that would be my #1 choice) would please the customer no end. -- Dave ----------------------------- Dave Doremus RPT New Orleans ------------------------------
