---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Les I presume a lot of the damage is to arms and sides of the piano, where they get run into a wall. A suggestion I would like to make is to cover the corners and edges of the piano with metal piping. (quarter round stuff you would put on stairs). or even plastic piping that you can put on the corner of a wall in your home. If the edges are protected, it will keep the veneer in place. That would be a lot cheaper than refinishing or repairing the piano.

The district folks will NOT pay to have a real finish person come and fix the damage. It would be thousands of dollars of course. Should I recommend to them, to the teachers, perhaps, to keep a can of verathane around and at least cover the exposed particle board, lest some kind spill water or worse on places and the piano simply start to swell? thanks les bartlett _______________________________________________ caut list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
