Dave -

I have only seen two Wheelock pianos.  Both were turn of the century Very
Victorian uprights.  These were mediocre pianos musically, although both
had been neglected for years.  Outstanding cases, though.  In fact, one
was a refinish job.   After stripping it, a light sanding completely
eliminated the "grain" in the area I was sanding and left only white
poplar where there was previously a very convincing mahogany.  I have
never again mistaken real grain for 'faux grain'!
