Does anybody have any good tips for how to accomplish this? The piano is extremely old and was in a smoker's home for many, many years. I'd also welcome advice on what pitfalls to avoid in doing this job. Thanks in advance! Scott ------ Scott A.

He asked me and some others to translate the German description into English so that they can be found better on Youtube by English speakers. He is no contributor of this list because his English is even worse than mine. > > Here they are: > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzwVFr7PyHw > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ur-odUdvbOo > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H68LnIHrbb4 > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHYvDxipAzA > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJ7CaaT2Dqs > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va8cxn4EFlU > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TK7tkEpEB9g ____________________________________________________________ Medical Insurance Quotes Compare medical insurance companies and save money now. http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2141/c?cp=vOjL_8A2Yk9mNvi6XJ8-1wAAJ1ButuDroy30iobj4ZCrBRnSAAQAAAAFAAAAAB3JmD4AAAMlAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAiWIAAAAAA=
