---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I have a client with a cracked lid on her 1873 Steinway. I would appreciate ANY comments you have. The lid is cracked through the veneers on both sides, from the tail to about a foot from the front lid. It looks like there is only the veneer layer on the core, rather than crossbanding and then the veneer (rosewood), but that would be most unusual and I could easily be wrong about that. My first guess is that the lid will have to be split on through, then glued back with biscuit joints, then the lid refinished. What is your experience with repairing cracked lids? Do you know anyone who does it regularly and successfully? Any idea about time/cost? The only one we have had reglued was mostly successful, but just a little off in the vertical direction. It takes so LITTLE on such a big flat surface, to show. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Bob Davis ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
