new refinishing idea

[pianolac]

What a great idea!   Why not take it one step further, and cover the entire
piano with green felt?  Maybe maroon would be better, to give it that nice
mahogany look.

Once saw a Knabe grand that had been covered completely in formica.  Made
the piano very heavy.  You could clean and polish it with Fantastic, though.
