> Have you ever seen a Steinway finished with polyester? I have, just two weeks ago. We were on vacation in some western city and visited a prominent dealer. They were showing us around when I spotted > 
> This dealer trucks them to somewhere in Calif. where they are refinished in polyester. I asked them what Steinway thought of this. Steinway apparently disapproved softly. 
> 
> I'm not willing to state this dealers name on the this media without asking their permission. We did exchange calling cards so I know their name. Some of you in that area might recognize who I'm talk> 
> Anyway there it was--one shinny Steinway. I didn't scrutinize the job closely but it looked good to me. Would polyester adhere to a lacquer finish? Maybe the poly was applied over the Steinway lacque>
