Hi, Andrew -
 
If necessary to raise the lyre, consider doing it by raising the piano, say  
a half inch.  Do this by making spacers to install between the stage dolly  
'arms' and the square plates that hold the legs.  You can use steel of  course - 
if you're handy with that - or very hard wood, perhaps pinblock  material 
worked to appropriate dimensions.  It is important to place these  spacers under 
the square plates, not above, nor attached to bottoms of  legs.  You'll have 
to replace the three bolts with longer ones, but just  long enough; otherwise 
they are apt to catch on obstructions.  Probably no  one will notice the higher 
keyboard, especially if an adjustable bench is  used.
