[CAUT] Piano Cuniform

[McCoy, Alan]

On these Hamburgs there is no finish on the upstop rails. The interesting thing is that his experience is limited to about 95% Hamburg S&S and 5% NY S&S.

Too bad too because he has missed out on our good ole Aeolean Ivers & Pond spinets among others.

One of the first things Ulrich did after pulling the action and placing it atop another piano (covered) was to take off the keystop rail, and sand the top of it. He said something about liking everything to look clean. At that moment it seemed extreme

Sanding is a little extreme. 4/0 steel wool cleans of the dirt and preps the surface for scribing with chalk and it leaves the finish intact.
