Kidding? No. A little bit facetious? Perhaps. Yes, you are correct to say that polyester is a plastic. But your original statement is unclear and the terminology used when referencing to polishing "wood" pianos is far from appropriate in a technical forum. So now I understand that you are referring to the finish on the wood, rather than the piano construction material itself. Okay. Your question is still unclear. What finish is a "not wood" finish? Plastic? But I regularly see black polyester and I see clear polyester where you can see the natural wood under - similar to a lacquer finish. Is a "wood" finish one where you can see the wood under the clear finish? Is a "not wood" finish a pigmented material where the wood is not visible? Many finish materials meet these descriptions. So I'm still wondering what a "not wood" finish is. Terry Farrell > I'm sure you're just kidding me,[ aren't you? ? ?] Of course , I meant the > finish, > not the whole piano.
