scratched key cover

[Paul T Williams]

I was just given this amazing scratch remover from a fellow tech.  I don't 
know how it works, but it does...quite well.

Re: scratched key cover






Years ago, at a convention, I bought a scratch remover in a small can.
It was called Tibet Almond Stick, by Zenith Chemical Works, Inc.
It removes scratches like magic, and I still carry it in my bag.

Rick, if you don't do wood repairs and there is no one in your area, there 
are two options. First go to Lowe's or Home depot and purchase the wax 
touchup sticks, they are very easy to work with a do a fairly good job. 
Second option is Old English Scratch Cover. Works very well also.

I need some help with a very agravating situation. New client, Wurly 
spinet ca: 70's with the flat sliding key cover that folds over keyfronts. 

After removing the top part which was screwed in at both sides (the part 
with the music rack), I tuned the piano and replaced the top just as it 
was before.
 
That night I get a call from the owner saying , "You scratched up my 
piano!
 
I went back the following day and indeed the key cover is rubbing in 
several places. I drilled two new screw holes and tilted the cover back so 
as to not rub the keycover, but now I am faced with making repairs to said 
cover.
 
I don't do repairs to the case and am having trouble finding someone who 
does.
I could use some advice on this mess, and has this ever happened to any of 
you folks?
Also, to what extent dollars wise ,should I be held liable?
 
Thanks,
Rick Ucci / Ucci Piano
