Just a guess... Perhaps they have been laquered with a clear coat that is now cracking/peeling. You can sand/strip one and recolor with sharp lacquer or stain. Can you send a photo?

A client has a 1920s Steinway grand, and the sharps now have a whitish glaze to them. They feel just a bit rough to the touch, and I turn to my experienced colleagues for advice as to what to do. Thanks, Greg Livingston ___________________________________________________ Gregory P.
