What long term effects might one have if they put a polyurethane+stain over the finish of a 65 year old Baldwin? Will this work? I didn't do it. A psychologist did………………….. Oh ghosh I think a brick has more sense. He had two grand pianos (sort of). The first he got free, and expected me to do something with it. The second he paid money…. told me I had tuned it. Yep, I had told the previous owners several times it had ceased decades ago to be a piano………… So this guy wants to dump them so he can buy a Baldwin from a church which I had tuned and wished I could have burned it right then. So he has this useless thing and has rubbed the p-+-stain, and I just wonder if it will hold, or be a mess within a few years. I only had to super glue about 5 of the tuning pins, and only #88 is down to the wood. Told him it was time to do some serious stuff, and he wanted to install new hammers, shanks, flanges, and winced when I quoted him $850 for parts- which now I think is stupidly low. This guy is a piece of surreal art, for sure. les bartlett -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
