List, This may be basic for some. I am about to pull a harp and finish it. Here is what I will do if I keep on my own. I will clean plate with thinner, lightly sand, fill gaps and voids with glazing compound and then prime. Rattle can it with Schaff piano Gold. Then clear coat it and reinstall. Any pitfalls? It is a full perimiter plate on a Behning and Sons. The bass bridge is shot. Any ideas on where to have it replicated? Was going to have Pianotec do it. The treble bridge has a diagonal lamination where it is begining to seperate. This does not seem to give it trouble. I was going to use CA glue to remedy that situation. This Grand was preserved by giving it a lovely Brown/Gold antiquing. Lots of work ahead. I want to put new hammers on this. I was going to try Abel, any other suggestions? (if you are familiar with this piano) It is a small 5 1/2' grand. Thank you for your help, Ed Tomlinson Tomlinson Tuning and Repair
