Saw a plate finish crack yesterday (see picture in links). Im just 
wondering if you all think it might be in the plate underneath, or just 
the plasic coating splitting? This piano was brand new delivered with a 
small crack, has been growing about 2mm/day.

My solution would be to get a restoration tech remove the finish off 
there before repairing the finish, to be able to see underneath the 
finish at the plate to determine its state? Ideas?
