refinishing questions from beginner...

List,

As I start my refinishing business with the addition of a shop this past 
year, I am wanting to learn more about laquer, and the difference between 
using laquer vs. varnish.

So far I have refinished 3 pianos using the method of hand-stripping, 
sanding, staining, then hand-rub varnishing with 3-4 coats.  I think the 
pianos turn out beautiful.

I now have a customer who wants laquer instead of varnish. There was a 
recent post on nitrocellulose laquer and Campbell products.  Are these 
products good?  Where can I order these and/or other high quality laquers?  
Any advice on applying lacquer - how many coats, the process of application?

I would really appreciate some input.
