Although, if there is enough speed/momentum, it might be better the other way. Let the lyre break up top (not too hard a repair). If the props are supporting it, then you have the lyre trying to stop the whole momentum of the piano cold. I'm not sure what would break and where, but maybe I don't want to find out. I could imagine the lyre pulling its locks out of the keybed, making a splintery mess up there, and props busting out their slots at the rear end, as one scenario. (Better to remove the lyre as you suggested strongly in your earlier post). Regards, Fred Sturm fssturm at unm.edu http://www.createculture.org/profile/FredSturm
