  Seems the responses have been short coming, and understandably.
  You've asked a question that has manifold answers.


  So I'll say this, Piannerman, I've got experience with both items.


  And have I had results? Yes, lots of results.


  And what I've learned is you have to find out for yourself ultimately =
when one will work, and when it won't. There are no pat answers because =
every set of hammers is different.


  So what does one do?


  Start reading the Pianotech archives about people's experiences at
  https://www.moypiano.com/ptg/pianotech.php/


  Use search words like hammer softner, hammer steaming, hammer hardner.


  In your search you'll find several others on this list who have =
documented their approaches, success and some failures.


  Enjoy,
