Andy,  A few years back I was faced with reconstructing a missing music
rack (the horizontal piece), and two side wings (found on those early
stack pianos) for my quarter-sawn oak Steinway Duo-Art XR (1920).  It
was a special order factory case.  Steinway told me they could not
reconstruct those pieces for me.  So, I did it myself with the help
of a local shop; they specialize in veneers and exotic woods.  The oak
veneer came in fairly large rolls.

One of the fellows there was very helpful.  I took several pieces of
the piano in and he helped me match up a new veneer.  He also told me
how to apply the veneer using heat and carpenter's glue -- it's not
coming off!  I'm very pleased with the results.
