[pianotech] Discoloration on S&S sharps

[Paul McCloud]

Just a guess...  Perhaps they have been laquered with a clear coat that is now cracking/peeling.  You can sand/strip one and recolor with sharp lacquer or stain.  
Can you send a photo?

Hello, friends.


A client has a 1920s Steinway grand, and the sharps now have a whitish glaze to them.  They feel just a bit rough to the touch, and I turn to my experienced colleagues for advice as to what to do.


Thanks,
Greg Livingston
