About once a year my customer complains that the piano is too bright, so I voice it down and make it a little more mellow than he likes because he say it will be bright again in about 6 months. He wants something more permanent. I hate to change these hammers because they still look good. What's the consensus on steaming? Does it last?</font></div> <div><font face="Arial"> </font></div> <div><font face="Arial">Al Guecia</font></div> </div></font> </div> </body> </html>
