I would appreciate suggestion concerning the pedal lyre on a Howard grand.
Made by Kawai for Baldwin.

The two  vertical stems (props? ) are both loose in the top  & bottom
horizontal pieces.  They have separated about 1 inch. What is the procedure
for repair?   Just knock them completely apart, glue all surfaces, and
clamp?

It appears there are wedges at the ends of the vertical stems.  Are these
glued in?  How does one remove them to reglue?  On the inner surfaces that I
can see, it doesn't look like there was ever any glue on them.  Are only the
wedge surfaces supposed to be glued?

Thank you.
