Never Try This

In my post below, I mentioned that I had a piano to polish. I write this for all who have or will ever have to polish a piano.

This piano is a Yamaha grand with a SATIN finish. Please do not ever buy one. Oh yes, the sound is AMAZING. But do not ever get one with a satin finish.

I do not know why it is called a satin finish, it should be called 'even angels passing through will leave greasy finger prints which will not be able to be removed except with large amounts of really expensive polish which can only be purchased at piano shops'. The name would be cumbersome, but truth in advertising should always come first. Or, it could simply be called the 'satan' finish.

My church bought the afore mentioned piano many many years ago. I hear it was a great deal.
I know why.

Now, what brings this up.

A few weeks back, someone was watching the movie "Pretty Woman" at my house. I have only seen the somewhat cleaned up version of that movie, and I cannot watch it. Because of that scene in the hotel lobby where Edward and Vivian 'do it' on the grand piano.

Aside from all that is appalling with this movie, I cannot watch it because...

OF THE PIANO.

Yuck.

If just picking up a piece of sheet music can leave fingerprints that take Herculean effort to remove... Oh, just the thought causes me to scream.

Yes. "Pretty Woman". Rated "R" for Random Acts of Repulsive Grossness to a piano.

Hopefully, it did not have the satin finish. I'd like to think that it was sprayed down with copious amounts of penicillin and bleach.

And then tossed into the trash.
