I purchased a gallon of ML Campbell clear nitrocellulose lacquer and their thinner to use to build tone in Steinway hammers. Since this lacquer is 25% solids, per Steinway manual I used a ratio of roughly 8:1 thinner to lacquer. One application (hammers thoroughly soaked) did not build tone as I thought it would. What happened? Also, wondering now if the solids settle, and maybe I didn't stir or shake the lacquer before using--don't remember now. Does this matter? Thanks for any ideas. Still learning how to do this. Paul Milesi, RPT Washington, DC (202) 667-3136 E-mail: paul at pmpiano.com Website: http://www.pmpiano.com
