storing on it's side

>c - a potential for losing legs and/or the bench

I notice on old "golden age" long grands that they have
a little place underneath toward the tail to store
the leg wedges and lyre props when the piano is on
its side. The same sort of piano often attached the
lyre with tapered pegs, which were hung on straps so
that they didn't get lost when removed (well, until
the straps broke ...)

Perhaps, along with putting runners on the straight
side, a piece of furniture could be built with (labeled) places
for the bench, legs, lyre, lyre props, and fasteners?
Then they would all be together and easy to find when
setting the piano up again. It might also prevent
trading the lyre and leg screws.
