At least each piece of veneer covering the piano cabinet has some type of gouge, chip, or peeling. Some of the chips could be filled in with a wood putty, but I think some of the more obvious gouges are going to need some patchwork veneer for the best finish.
By examining the wood against various types of wood grains, I think I've decided that the veneer is probably made of a ribbon stripe African mahogany. Unfortunately, most places seem to offer only 4'x8', or larger, sheets of veneer, and most small sheets are about 1/16" thick.
So, until I acquire some, keep your eyes peeled! (Because I know you're all shopping for veneer.)
