This piano is on an island off the coast of Maine which = is an hour ferry trip one way. This piano is used by the Fox Island = Concert Association and they will be using this piano August 14 th for a = solo concert. I will not have much time to put these hammers on and get = them regulated and voiced for this concert. This is the first set of = Steinway hammers I have had to replace. I am looking for some help in = the preparation, regulation and voicing methods that you use on these = hammers and any methods that might speed up this job. A step by step = guide would be very helpful so that I don't make any major mistakes that = could waste time. I have done several grand regulations, but I do not = have much voicing experience and none using lacquer and acetone. I was = told by Kent Webb to use 1part lacquer and 3 parts acetone and to soak = the hammers completely. If anyone has experince with this method or a = different method your help would be greatly appreciated. I do have the Steinway Technical Reference Guide, but I am looking for = more specific individual methods that you have developed from experince = with these hammers. I am afraid of getting these hammers too hard and have difficulty = voicing them. Thanks for your help.
