I have used both, in fact the bottle of Lunsford's sitting in my shop is probably almost 10 years old since I have been using CA for all of the pianos I have treated during that time. My point was that comparatively the 13 year provenance of CA treatment versus the 40 plus year provenance of Lunsford's means, again I say, IMHO, that they are both worthy tools in our arsenal and should be viewed as such. Experience and the future plans for the piano come into play here. I wouldn't use lunsford's on a block I planned to re-pin but I would use CA. I should hasten to add that I have never re-used a block but remain open to the possibility. I have found CA to be superior to Lunsfords in the cases I have used it thus far but as we all know or should realize as we continue in this profession the same plan or treatment doesn't fit every piano. I prefer to keep an open mind to most of what I see and read on this list filing away the info gathered for the day when the opportunity to use it presents itself. There are some things that I am not in favor of and when they present themselves I say so, this was not one of those cases but rather a call to consider both as options. From my perspective of having used all 3 products. Mike -- I intend to live forever. So far, so good.
