I guess only us old timers. Al From: David Love Sent: Friday, March 20, 2009 9:23 AM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Re: [pianotech] Soundboard Lacquer Finish I'm surprised nobody uses varnish. I prefer the nice luster it gives. Two coats of sealer, two coats of a high quality varnish applied at the end of the day and tip toe out of the shop. Sand lightly between coats. Stain sheen is easier, semi gloss looks a little nicer. The bridges I mask off and spray with lacquer out of the can leaving the bridge tops natural wood. On new boards I apply the top coat finish after the board is installed. The underside, of course, is done prior to installation.
