Hi Terry -

That is precisely my thoughts.  If that were so, surely all the pianos we
see these days with thick polyester coatings would be exhibiting severe
problems.  'Please correct me if I am wrong', also, but I suspect other
reasons at play here.  I have seen mahogany that was bleached to death
show grey streaks even after dyeing and/or staining, and perhaps thee are
other possible explanations for this to occur, but I can't imagine the
poly at fault.
