Hi Sue - nothing yet. At first I assumed it should be completely relined with padding - but Steve says no for good reason. So it does not need much work at all. It will need a slight tear near the headstock end sealed (no problem); have both cloth tapes over the hinges replaced (not too difficult); and reinforce the cloth hinge on the little storage compartment (mucho difficult). I am hoping Steve will have some helpful suggestions on that. I am good with wood (build Mission style furniture) and I knit very well - but fixing cloth??????? Help LOL!!!
