Yamaha voicing...and the famous Newton!

[Lynn Rosenberg]

    I just want to give a suggestion.  I have purchased and have used hammer
softener, price $3 from piano teck, and have brushed it on a set of hammers
that were very hard for a Young chang piano and after two coats, it softened
them right up.  Lynn Rosenberg
