Sonus Faber peeling leather


Hi
I recently bought a pair of SF Lilium, BNIB, and upon unpacking, found that the leather had started to peel. The dealer took them back. The dealer is having it re- wrapped but I was wondering if anyone has done this properly (not just sticking another layer over it) or does it have to go back to the factory to be done properly?
Thanks

Hi Bob
I guess it will be down to how good the refurbishment job is. I haven't seen it yet but will have a look this week. Its done locally, not by SF.

Regards

Looking at the pics that you posted, it looks like the cause of the damage to the leather was either shipping, or vandalism. Doesn't look to me to be a factory defect.
I believe it was heat, the warehouse was not properly climate controlled, I think.

The crate was still sealed when it arrived at my home.
