Are you asking about the practice of lacquering Steinway hammers?   It
is explained in an SnS "technical letter" and Also at Convention
presentations.  I personally have reservations but as long as 90 percent
of performers choose the same brand I suppose you gotta pay attention
instructions on how to put lacquer in their hammers.   And of course the
proof of the pudding is in the playing.=20

I would love to go back to SF and dig up some pianos with original
hammers 50 and 70 years old and no doubt they are lacquer free.

             Why laquer hammers when over time, the hammers harden, by
playing?=20
