Real fast! :) > > Les Smith > lessmith@buffnet.net Further;;;; in the 70's I had occasion to refinish an ebony Steinway grand that had been badly smoke damaged, not burned. It seems that Steinway used to say that none of their ebony pianos were made from natural finished ones that had "mistakes" After stripping we admired the straight side of the piano where about halfway down the length the veneer changed from going longways to straight up and down. I did not believe their claim of ebony pianos not being mistakes after that. James Grebe from St. Louis pianoman@inlink.com>
