For some reason, I must have missed the beginning of this thread, but I must 
disagree with the above statement. 

Refinishing is NOT part of our trade. There are piano technicians who are 
able to refinish, but I don't consider refinishing to be part of piano 
technology. Refinishing is a totally different occupation. I learned how to 
refinish, and soon learned that I wasn't any good at it. I know what to do, 
and know what is required to be a professional refinsiher, but I don't 
consider myself a refinisher. And by the same token, there are refinishers 
who know absolutely nothing about piano technology, but can still refinish a 
piano. 

If a piano technician wants to know more about refinishing, then he/she 
should subscribe to a refinishing chat page and refinishing trade magazines. 
But I do not think articles refinishing should be included in the Journal. 

Just my 2.5 cents worth. 

Wim
