	Hi Barbara,

	=20

	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

	=20

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

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!!!

		=20

		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?
