Steinway A Re-veneering






The Steinway A had some very poor body work done on it by a previous rebuilder. All the edges of the case were severely rounded. To repair this mistake, I have removed the edge veneer, filled the sides with polyester filler, and then applied new veneer. The cheeks were the first to be done. You work from the bottom and work up so that the top layer covers the top edge of the veneer below. Clamping is a bit tricky. The pics show you how I accomplish the clamping of tightbond II extend glue.
