I've used the Transtint dyes and have found them to be a very good product. But as far as brown streaks in the ebony is concerned, I would question where the problem is - with the ebony sharps or elsewhere. Why disguise that beautiful spark of natural beauty with dye? We're talking character here.... Why the heck would a piano manufacturer use an exotic wood like ebony if only to stain it black? They could just make the sharps out of any durable wood - like maple, etc. Natural ebony with it's wild brown shades and off-white keys, especially on an old piano, IMHO, are the cat's tushy. Terry Farrell ----- Original Message ----- I've got a set of nice ebony on an '06 S&S B (just turned 100 on Friday!) but there are a couple with brown spots or streaks where the wood was not completely black under whatever Steinway used back then to finish their sharps. I got a bottle of Transtint black stain from Pianotek to take care of this problem but I thought I'd check with the list to see if anybody had had any direct experience using this product and can offer any advice.
