  Wish it were that simple but the piano didn't come with the peices =
just a more modern version of a stwy leg(plain).  Good  idea though!

Does that mean that you have the broken leg? I can't imagine a break =
that could not be epoxied together to a stronger-than-new state. In a =
worst case where the leg was broke in half perpendicular to its long =
axis, I have done repairs where I put 1/2" steel rod dowels (or whatever =
size is appropriate) in leg and then epoxy (West System, thickened with =
their hi-strength adhesive filler). This is an easy, super-strong =
repair. If the piano is ebony, you will never see a proper repair. If it =
is finished natural, one can minimize its appearance on a leg pretty =
easy.

     To My ever helpful and esteemed colleagues on List=20

        I am purchasing a 1933 Stwy B that apparently had one leg broken =
(aaahh) by stage hands(those ruffians!)  It  is the traditional shaped =
leg but has  what I call picture framing type recess cutout on the top =
block and lower leg. It was the type common before the Big war. I just =
know some packrat (savior)  has a set or less of these legs lying in the =
garage wondering what they are going to do with these relics in their =
lifetime  but can't bear to throw them out.
     Any body got a lead? Any help most appreciated.
     =20
     I just had a thought. Maybe we could have a garage sale of =
tools,spare parts and other stuff once a month on the list? Feed back =
please,just asking the question.
