still going

[Kurt Eichenbach]

Terry:

Yes certainly.  There isn't enough felt left for a filing/shaping job.  
There was serious discussion about rebuilding the instrument, that 
seemed like a smarter option than buying new.  Unfortunately, the 
customer is now bankrupt.  So any suggestions anyone has to make the 
pianists life easier are welcome.

The hammers toughen up very quickly, like in a few hours in fact.  I 
wondered if the pianist who plays it could be taught to use meth/water 
to soften the hammers prn (as needed).  I just don't know if that would 
make the hammers worse more quickly.
