I have no real experience in the refinishing game, and don't want much either. But I want to refinish my own piano. 1920 Geo. Steck grand. Under the wrinkled varnish(?) the wood is stained very dark, like a dark walnut. I used stripper on the music desk pieces and found, to my consternation, that if I tried to scrub off stubborn flecks with a rough sponge, I was taking off stain as well--leaving lighter streaks. I panicked and just stopped. But that's silly, I've got to get back at it. Should I just strip and sand and work with whatever I get, restaining or such? Thoughts? Alan Barnard Stymied in Salem, MO
