formula for Hammer softening solution?

[Carol Beigel]

Thank you for the formula!  I have already done the needle bit.  This is for 
an Asian-built piano with a "player" installed on it that is unbelievably 
loud.  It's the piano - not the player!  People who want to sit and talk 
while listening to the world's great music deserve fabric softener on their 
hammers!
