Our labor is not cheap. Or, it shouldn't be. This warped lid sounds like a time clock sink hole. A sow's ear. An unfair war to take a client's cash. Better to use it for a foot warmer on a cold winter's night. Burn it. Use the rim of the piano to make a new pattern and send for a replacement. Get a good refinisher to match it. And concentrate on the stuff you like to do, the things you're good at. Roger Hayden, RPT
