polish

[Farrell]

Kidding? No. A little bit facetious? Perhaps. Yes, you are correct to say
that polyester is a plastic. But your original statement is unclear and the
terminology used when referencing to polishing "wood" pianos is far from
appropriate in a technical forum.

So now I understand that you are referring to the finish on the wood, rather
than the piano construction material itself. Okay. Your question is still
unclear. What finish is a "not wood" finish? Plastic? But I regularly see
black polyester and I see clear polyester where you can see the natural wood
under - similar to a lacquer finish. Is a "wood" finish one where you can
see the wood under the clear finish? Is a "not wood" finish a pigmented
material where the wood is not visible? Many finish materials meet these
descriptions.

So I'm still wondering what a "not wood" finish is.
