It's easy to nick it up. So I usually send it to = the finisher after I am done with the rebuild. The only real problem = the plate causes is the finishing of the inner rim. So, I strip and = sand the finish on the inner rim when the plate is out. There are = exceptions. I am doing a piano now that was painted white, including = the inner rim. The work involved in removing the white was extensive = enough that I sent it off after the board was done but without the = plate. When it came back I only needed to drop the plate and go from = there. I picked up an apron for the case so that I could work around = the piano without damaging the finish on the sides, covered the = stretcher with a thick piece of felt during restringing, and covered the = front edge of the key bed. =20 David Love ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
