Jurgen said: "Pear wood was often used as the thick (2 mm or so) cross banding underneath the face veneer on piano cases." Jurgen, That is partially true. They did use it that way, but not very often, because it was an expensive/difficult to get wood. The clue there is Pear Wood's a very stable wood. Hence it's most often use.<G> ???? BTW, what a lot think is Pear Wood, could be any other Fruit Wood or even something like Boxwood. They all look similar.<G> Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
