<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been using Ronsen Hammers for most =
of my 32
years. Having said that, I'd say YIKES! My suggestion(s) would be: 1. =
Play the
hammers in for 3-6 months, before even thinking about "juicing" them! =
(This is
dependant on how much you play the piano, EVERY DAY!)<G> 2. Since =
this
piano is a Yamama G-1, I'd say you got used to the sound of Shattering =
Glass and
now have a whole new palate of sound/tone to listen to.<G> 3. A =
3:1 ratio
(3 parts Acetone to 1 part Lacquer), is WAAAAY to strong, IMO. I usually =
use a
mixture of double that rato or triple that ratio! (i.e. 6:1 or 10:1)!!!! =
4. Most
of what I have gleaned on Wurzens is that the bottom few, (bass), =
hammers
usually need a little "brightening" and likewise the top half octave or =
so.
Proceed very cautiously on this, Please!?</FONT></DIV>
