Steinway hammer voicing

[Ric Brekne]

New York or Hamburg D ?  Totally different puppies in this regard..

    I haven't really got into voicing by additive.  So far needling has
    worked well for me...

    I've got voicing to do on a D this coming week.  There are a number
    of notes that are duds.  No bloom.  Short sustain.  Like they don't
    go anywhere.  No termination problems evident.  I'd use deep shoulder
    needling to open this up usually.

    Is there a different approach for lacquer hardened hammers?

    Thanks,
