Terry,

 

The problem with the finish from a 25 year old August Forster is not the
polyester but the veneer. These pianos suffered from veneer lifting, brass
bridge pins breaking and screws pulling out of the action rails. I suggest a
complete refinish, as doing a repair could come back on you in the future.

 

On the positive side, they had a great bass. 

 

Cheers

Does anyone have any experience with having a piano refinished in polyester?
Any recommendations for who does that kind of work. Is it common to have
shade-matching problems with gloss black if only part of the piano is
refinished (lid)?

 

Am I correct to assume that if the piano has big mega-cracks in the finish
that the only way to properly fix it is to refinish - or is there any way to
do a good repair?

 

This is a 25 year old August Forster.
