Yes. Some Baldwins, in particular, will try to kill you this way. If fallboards are the type that just lift out, I usually do. Your idea is better! Thanks. Alan R.

I got a small clamp ( C style ) from sears, and using felt to keep from scratching the piano, you can clamp the fallboard at the top to the rim of the piano, and presto, no more fallboard flop.
