New Steinway D problem

[Newton Hunt]

Hi Richard,

I think your diagnoses is correct.  Take the screws out and see if it is
loose enough to remove.  This brace can often be removed with no effect
on the piano.  Others are so jammed in that you cannot remove them. 
Take it off and bush the ledge ends and replace.
