A 1965 black medium-gloss Yamaha G3 was donated to us with an=
ugly white patch on the lid caused from a cat. I tried cleanin=
g
and rubbing this off with Cory products and tried a little rubbing compoun=
d
but the whitish blotch appears to be penetrated like part of the finish.&n=

(It feels totally smooth after cleaning). Does anyone have a remedy =

this? </FONT></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV>Hi, Mike -</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Seems to me that cats and pianos don't belong in the same place!
We've dealt with lots of cat damage in our restoration work - but never this=
problem. It will be interesting to read any responses.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Have a fine Christmas, Mike, and please convey my seasons greetings to =
the
rest of your family.</DIV>
