Source fof High Solids Lacquer

[John Tonyan]

Hi Dave,
On the subject of Ronsen hammers (but off the subject of lacquer),
Ronsen hammers tend to need more felt removal in the bass and the treble to 
produce an even tone. When this approach is taken, especially before 
hanging, the subsequent voicing work is pretty minimal.

Thanks to all who educated me on the lacquer question.  I have concluded it 
would be easier to go buy a unicorn, than to go buy the right lacquer for 
steinway hammer voicing.  Anyway, here is a good writeup I stumbled onto at 
the MACLAC site:

http://www.maclac.com/     and click on Lacquers for Wood, then and now.

    I've got a gallon of MacLac.   I've got a set of Ronsen Wurzens that 
need something in the low bass...and some of the treble is weak.   For the 
bass, should I soak the bottom hammers with a 6 to 1 solution are just the 
shoulders?   How about the treble?
