Stripping Question

[Lhadeh at wmconnect.com]

I'm more than a little surprised at the derisive comments to my previous post 
on this subject.  All I will say in response is a tool in one man's hands 
will help him build, in another man's hands will cause him to destroy.

The start of this was my observation that the pianos being imported from Asia 
have exquisite finishes.  Like many of you, I don't particularly like the 
thick plastic look, but disregarding that issue, it is a fact that other pianos 
look dowdy (finish-wise) in comparison, especially rebuilt and refinished ones 
in the stores I have visited.  I am also convinced that many, if not most, of 
these other pianos are the better quality instruments and a better value in 
the long run.

My objective in my work is to provide an instrument that a prospective 
customer will choose over the competition and know that it was the best choice.  So 
I have spent considerable effort to develop methods for my home workshop 
environment that results in a product that compares or exceeds my Asian competition 
in the finish area at a reasonable cost.  This is one of several ideas that 
help me reach that goal.  I am completely serious about this and thought 
perhaps I could share this, as others have shared to my benefit.

Unfortunately, I have somehow stepped over a line that I don't quite 
understand.  So, I'm "taking the hint" and will quietly go back to work.

Thank You,
Loren Hedahl
