[TPIN] Removing Engraving

[Michael Neverdosky]

I am not an expert on the specifics of musical instruments but I have
pushed around a fair amount of metal.

Depending on the type and depth of the engraving, you can burnish and
buff to get much of it off.

Nothing can replace an in person evaluation by a good repair tech.

Lots of options and it helps to have the advise of an expert.
