These seemingly small things are the difference between a mediocre and a very fine job. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Greetings Rodger, You are right about a senior tuner. Willis Snyder from our chapter, is overseeing my reasoning and moves on this one.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>      Even with all the good tips, I am scared as heck of using lacquer for <STRONG>the</STRONG> <STRONG>first time in my life!!!!</STRONG> on the lady's piano, so, I told her I was waiting for the order to come in from the piano supply house that has her hardner. This buys me a week. I am going to get clear lacquer, thin it with lacquer thinner and make various strength solutions and try it in my old upright (experimental) piano.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>       All advice is <EM><U>great</U></EM> and appreciated.</DIV> <DIV>      </DIV> <DIV>Gratefullly,</DIV> <DIV>Juli</DIV> <DIV>Reading, PA</DIV></BODY></HTML>
