And how did it get to the top of the piano if not through a block separation? I'd think that's evidence enough to justify scraping off the felt and doing some structural triage. > By the way I'll take whatever heat you dish out for "saving" this fine > specimen! <grin> It quite possibly ain't saved just yet, however deserving. Ron N </blockquote></div> Good point, I return tomorrow for the tipup and tune, I'll check it then. I used the very thin CA I'm thinking it probably flowed through the wood but it is possible there's a seperation, Wurlitzers are good for that. I think that's one of the reasons they switched from the felt to the 1/4" plywood on the tops. It's just possible the CA filled the opening if it's a small enough one. -- Michael Magness Magness Piano Service 608-786-4404 <a href="http://www.IFixPianos.com">www.IFixPianos.com</a> email <a href="mailto:mike@ifixpianos.com">mike@ifixpianos.com</a>
