Thread Name: A waste of good mahogany
Subject: RE: A waste of good mahogany
I have an upright grand piano from 1885 that has been in the family since it was new. A Weber. It must have 1/4 inch of rosewood veneer on it. From back in the days when they didn't have to shave it so thin due to diminishing supplies. (It also has a birdseye maple sounding board. Gorgeous piece of woodwork as well as instrument. I can't afford to have it refurbished right now, but I will one of these days).
