[Allan L. Gilreath, RPT]

Julio,

Is this the original finish or something applied later?

Subject: Stripping Steinway Ebonized finish


I have an 1894 Steinway upright that has the ebonized finish on it. I and
going to do a complete refinish on it and am trying to remove the old
finish.
Every stripper I have tried is ineffective on this compound. Any ideas how
to get it off, other than sanding it and then stripping it
