I don't expect them too Wim. I merely meant with a bit of dry humor, that customers tell us lots of things that turn out not to be entirely accurate is all. If it were me, I would see if you could call in a good refinisher to see what the real problem might be.

I don't think Kawai will give them a new one at this stage of the game.

Customers tell us lots of things.. I had a nice Schimmel grand a couple of years ago where the finish actually faded. Looked cloudy and whitish. The finish was flawed. They wound up with a brand new piano.

If this were a lacquer finish it looks like too much moisture in the material. But this is happening on a 15 year old piano. It looks like dust, but it won't rub off.
