    Yes, I've noticed that. Sometimes the finish guys will be called =
upon to satinize a polyester piano. The high polish ebony sometimes =
comes out kinda grey looking, I didn't know that the walnut high polish =
might come out cloudy, but I suppose that it might. Thanks.=20
    I joked with one of them the other day, saying "What if a customer =
calls in saying her piano looks grey, tell her to put olive oil on it?"  =
But of course, I was joking.=20
