Hi Ron, List,
There is a company in Georgia which makes a reasonably priced grand piano
lyre substitute for breaking down a grand piano.  Perhaps it is time to
begin recommending (demanding?) this 4th leg for all piano movers.  Just a
steel stand which they claim will not slip out.

Why am I posting this?

I'm replacing a lyre stick on a brand new S&S L which the movers broke
delivering the piano.

Sigh.
