Hi Barbara,

There are "windows" (for lack of a better term) with glass. So the lid
is not solid structurally, but still heavy. I think one lid prop could
flex the lid and if someone leaned on it they would break all that
glass...

Sundance film festival... They had 4 of the "Steinway legends" and they
didn't really use them for concerts, just for the public to play,
although I did have to tune them daily. (The room was awful! Hot & cold
w/ radiant heaters) In addition to the 4 "legends" they brought #365 for
nightly concerts. A GREAT piano! I tuned it nightly for the concerts but
the others were just for the public. Some great jazz artists there.

Hey Jim,

=20

Actually, I was sort of wondering where the glass came in--hard to tell
in the picture, except there's something interesting on the underside of
the lid. =20

You worked on it!!   Was it for a concert?  Hmm, I wonder what the
repertoire would be for a piano like that?  :-)

(There was an excellent Chihuly exhibit here in Peoria a little over a
year ago----truly stunning.) =20

	Hi Barbara,

	=20

	It has 2 lid props because the stained glass (plastic?) in the
top made the lid unstable (AND, I'm sure, for artistic reasons :-).
Anyway, I spent a week on the beast this winter and when I'd raise the
lid it felt like it was "bending" a lot.

	Wow!!!

	So, does it have two lid props just for the hell of it, or is
there something about the lid that requires two?  I can't remember what
the supports on the bottom side of the lid are called.  Do they light up
or are they just plexiglass with colored rods inside?

	My 8 year old son would love it.  Speaking of, has anyone done a
Lego Steinway?
