touching the needle to a cake of beeswax helps the penetration.

   =20
  I would appreciate any ideas on voicing exceptionally hard hammers.  =
The candidate is an old Baldwin D, used as the primary piano in a =
church.  I=E2=80=99ve done a lot of voicing over the years, but have not =
run into a set of hammers as hard as these; it is impossible to insert a =
needle into them.

   I=E2=80=99m considering steam (have read a recent PTG Journal article =
about this technique), but would like some opinions about it.  =
I=E2=80=99ve also heard about using fabric softener, but am afraid of =
using it without more information.

   Know any other possible methods?  Thanks.

   Jerry Raz
