But hey, nobody else is around when its time to set the piano up after an install, so how else am I supposed to do it? I've used this method on pianos up to 6'3" and have never had any problem, but I suppose it is just a matter of time. I don't envy your experience, it must have been an extremely unpleasant event. I think I'll double check lyres in the future. Makes me think of the time that a mild mannered baptist minister tuner I know was pitch raising a Meisner vertical one morning when the plate exploded. He quietly packed up his stuff, drove home, laundered his drawers, and went to bed for the rest of the day. And they say there is no drama in piano service. Have a good one Dave
