We were talking about thick finishes & your comment about
that much <br>
material killing the sound. My point is that other makers lay on a
pretty thick <br>
layer of plastic. Is it affecting the sound? dunno for sure"<br>

You are correct, but I'd wager that the coating is not very thick, as in
the Bechstein I was referring to. It had a VERY thick coat, as in over
1/16"! Just too much of a good thing, IMHO.</blockquote><br>
<font size=2>Brain Farts aside, with plastic that thick, it sure was
shiny!<br><br>
...brings to mind the old Sears Silvertone line of just about everything,
errr, ahhhhhh, ummmmm, musical...<br><br>
....probably affects the temperament, too...<br><br>
