I've sent 12-15 pianos to SAMA over the past few years . Some had real problems, including a rosewood Pleyel grand with bubbling, loose veneer. An upright had no veneer on the lid. Both came out very nicely; I couldn't see the repairs. They have always done a good refinishing job for me, especially for the price. These are satin (4/0 steel wool) rubbed finishes. They will do high gloss, but don't like to because of potential moving damage. The satin is fairly easy to rub out packing marks from the mover. Occaisionally a part gets lost, but they always seem to find it. Their restringing is also good. The Pleyel had individually-looped strings, and they did an excellent job. Plastic keytops also look good and hammers very straight, etc. Philip Jamison Pianos West Chester, PA _________________________________________________________________ The average US Credit Score is 675.
