Repolishing a frand piano

We have been lucky enough to be given my husband's grandfather's Steinway Model O grand (1923 vintage). Our tuner/technician says that the works are in excellent condition and is keeping them in good order. However the mahogany case is looking distinctly worse for wear, including some water damage t...

As to the new pianos, I can find...
