    Thanks so much for the many responses on softening factory-lacquered =
hammers.  I don't mean to bite the hands that feed, but I'm not sure =
what to do now because the arguments for and against steaming sound =
equally convincing.  The arguments for using fabric softener and alcohol =
are equally convincing since it sounds believable that the steam won't =
loosen the chained-together fibers.  And since another tech thinks the =
vise-grip option isn't necessarily extreme, and I've done it on other =
pianos, I wonder if I shouldn't just go that route. =20
    This is a new Astin-Weight console.  I'm just assuming it's lacquer =
they used.  I can call and find out.  Maybe the factory has their own =
recommended antidote. =20
