    That's strange Joe, every hammer we've gotten from them has been so =
dead soft that the first thing you do after hanging is SOAK THEM. Well, =
almost........
    Really, though, I haven't found any that I've gotten from them to be =
pre-lacquered.  Hope it's not a trend.........

  So how come the last several new B's I have worked on have cotton=20
  balls on sticks where there should be piano hammers?  I lacquer as a=20
  last resort but here I am with the juice trying to get a brand new=20
  $50,000 piano to make a sound.

  There is nothing I enjoy more than the mild buzz you get lacquering=20
  hammers though.  Simple pleasures are the best.
