Wim & all, I strongly urge you NOT to spray the aggraffes with lacquer, after cleaning and polishing! The lacquer becomes a "contaminate" at the termination point. Case in point, we've all seen a "redone" grand, where the plate was sprayed, with strings attached. This also included the aggraffes with gold spray all over them. And the piano sounded like hell. Why? Because the lacquer was on the termination point. Yes, I did clean a few to prove the point and it did improve the sound. Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon)
