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></BODY></HTML>
