Correct! The Water White Nitrocellulose is getting and will get harder to find.

Joe, I agree.  Apparently Water White Nitrocelullose lac is the one.  I just had a tough time finding any.  None locally.  Have to mail order.  The newer lacs apparently are great for furnature, but not for pianer hammers.

Regards,

Dave

Dave said: "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."

Dave,
The one thing that raised an eyebrow, was Pre/Post Catalyzed Lacquers resist "reconstitution" once dry. (my paraphrasing). This one thing tells me that it is not the type of lacquer to use on Hammers!
