I've seen these on old Kimballs, and have one lurking in the corner of the shop as a potential spare... someday. At least half the time, the movers pulled the screws and removed the whole thing anyway since they couldn't pull the pegs and get the lyre off without someone lifting the front of the piano a couple of inches while someone else was underneath. That was before everyone routinely used the lyre for a rocker. Who else used this mounting system? Ron N
