<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I have used the =
Steinway black
which is produced by Walter wurdack in St. Louis. It is truly a
black,black which is good but it is not designed to get really hard like =
other
nitro-cell products which is a downer. This is why the blanket =
imprints
etc. It is designed to be sprayed at about 140degrees. It is =
also
difficult to sand as the cure time is long unless warm dry conditions =
are
present.</FONT></DIV>

<BR><BR> Last year, I spoke with Mike =
of
Kearney Movers (out of New Jersey) <BR>when his company was moving a =
CFIII from
New York for me. He said that <BR>because of DEQ regulations, Steinway =
has been
forced to reformulate their <BR>finish, and that it does not seem to =
cure as
quickly or as hard as the <BR>previous formula. He moves a lot of =
Steinways
across country, and after being <BR>blanket wrapped, the blankets leave =
an
impression on the finish, which of <BR>course makes the customer =
unhappy, and
they blame the moving company. So, it <BR>sounds like you're not the =
Lone Ranger
on this issue. <BR><BR>Just My Two Cents <BR><BR>Greg Boles <BR>Baton =
