<BR>What you want to do is appeal to some of the more finicky faculty members, (probably the women), that want the piano to look good. One of the piano faculty has been after me to put on my refinishers hat and touch up the D on stage. She thinks the thing looks awful. I hope to be able to get the funds to get someone else to do the work.
