AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to my son's high-school band concert last night and a young lady = did a lovely piano solo on a Yamaha C3 (no doubt had been tuned within = the past 3 years). She did "Liebestraum" by Frans Liszt - and did it = well. BUT the poor piano - I should say the obscene piano - ZERO = dynamics (and I love Yamahas in many applications). She could play at = high and low volume (I think that has something to do with the action = mechanism.....), but it was 100% loud and less loud. ZERO tonal changes = at all. This was not a piano-forte - but rather as Del might = characterize such a piano, it was a forte! Yuck (for a classical = application like this one)!

Andre, you know this receipe, and I wonder if it would help in = Michael's case. It looks like plastic keytop with acetone mix, but it is not exactly = it. So Andre, what are the differences between your method with collodion = and the method I speak about? the Yamaha method seems to work in only a few minutes although your = method needs one day to get the final result.
