[CAUT] SD-6 music rack/ student guilt

[Paul T Williams]

I don't think I would rip all the veneer off. Instead, I would "square 
off" the damaged area, fill the gouged part out with wood filler, glue on 
a new piece of veneer and black laquer it up.

ps.  I never get told of damage to pianos except after I get home and the 
concert piano has some sort of owey!

By each practice room, I've posted a sheet of paper that the students 
actually fill out when a string has broken or whatever.  That way, nobody 
has to admit their guilt and I get them repaired more quickly :>)  Anyone 
else do this?

Rip off the rest of the veneer, sand it a little and paint it black. 
 (just like the rolling stones song)  Maybe a little filler on that corner 
if you want it to look better?

As an aside, I actually had a student come to me and report a problem with 
a practice room piano!  I was stunned.  Usually they let it sit there for 
weeks and then grumble to faculty that it hasn't been fixed.

Folks,

The Li'l darlin's have again proved their mechanical ineptitude. How hard 
is it to slide the shelf back without breaking? Apparently, very.

The door to the room it's in is about 50 feet from mine and in sight, but 
it was evidently also beyond the capability of anyone to report any 
damage.  Of course, the evidence (chipped out part) was discarded, so no 
regluing is possible.


Any quick/easy/cheap fixes you folks have done?
