Re: Help!!! Yamaha U30 BL price to good to be true!!!

Thank you so much, - didn't think of putting the serial in google.

This explains why the seller has not got back to my last email asking to view the piano with my tuner!

I thought it was too good to be true at that price, there are some crooks out there!!

Thank you

Overall the piano is dull and lacks luster, there are one or two small white paint marks and a few little scratches.

Knight

Could you tell me how much a knight piano of this date is worth. The knight piano I am looking at is in perfect working order and has been regularly tuned every six months. The only problem is that the cabinet finish has seen some ware and there is a chip in the top lid.

Many thanks

Adam

Cleaning / restoring Black Lacquer

To claen and polish black lacquer I have read somewhere that an oily soap should be used and then wiped off and polished using elbow-grease!!!

I have tried that but it dosen't hide surface scratches, Can anyone else shed any light on the issue.

Many Thanks

Black Lacquer

I have a black lacquer piano that has really seen some ware over the years and looks dull, and in a few places the bare wood is visible. I know to get the best finish, re-lacquering would be best.
