Re: Franz Oaser keyboard section

To Pianomate, please reply to my offer to send a key to you even if the reply is they are worthless. The whole thing is just sitting and SWMBO is cracking up.

Re: Which Paint ?

One last thing, not knowing anything about piano construction norms...I have noticed that all the areas to be painted are veneer rather than real wood. The pianos side all the way round, and the lid both above and below are all veneers. Does that fact create any additional challanges or does it not ...
