Gidday Gentlemen I'm restoring a 1904 Bechstein B but have had contradictory advice regarding the case finish- which is black. Some say it might have been french- polished using necrocine (?) and that it would be best to lacquer it. The finish is slightly crazed in places but not bad overall. The veneer is several mms thick so I want to take the finish back just so far as to bring it back to a high gloss successfully. I would value your collective experience as this is my first 'big one'!
