John Would enough people notice, and/or complain that the fall board is not the same sheen as the rest of the piano? Wim -----Original Message----- From: John Minor <jminor at illinois.edu> To: caut <caut at ptg.org> Sent: Mon, 30 Mar 2009 10:32 am Subject: [CAUT] hamburg steinway fallboard shadows We have a hamburg D with the non-hinged fallboard that casts annoying shadows on the keys with the current lighting setup in the performance hall. I'm considering replacing the original fallboard (with the curved top) with a NY fallboard with the hinged lip. Unfortunately, the NY fallboard is in satin, and our hamburg is high polish. I suppose I could pay to have it done in high polish. How about removing the hinged lip altogether and having the holes plugged and topcoated with enough lacquer to get a high polish? Would the artists be annoyed by the missing hinged lip??? Any suggestions? (Improve the lighting!!!?)
