Stephane, Are you sure it's Varnish. I ran into a Bechstein that had been "Rebuilt" in Europe. The ijits finished the soundboard and bridges with Polyester!!!! Although the piano was 7', it had all of the power of spinet with Q-tips for hammers! It was just like a modern Hot Rod, all show and no go.<G> Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Captain, Tool Police Squares Are I
