[pianotech] Cleaning a very old plate

[Joseph Garrett]

Terry said:
"Yes, but there is also some very nice two-tone gold work on the plate -
more than just pinstriping."
 
Terry,
The other gold is gold gilt, as in real gold leaf! Commonly used on a lot
of those old pianos. Conscequently, ya want to clean it and preserve it
with a clear coat, imo. A little touch up would really make that thing
beautiful!

Regards,
Joe
