Knabe Plate and Stretcher

[David Love]

I was afraid of that.  Of course I could just trim the lip on the
stretcher that over hangs the plate.  I was really hoping to avoid any
case work on this one.  Oh well.

I've done one of those and it seems like the stretcher was mortised into
the sides. I actually had a cabinet maker do it, and I think he had to
re-veneer the tops of the sides after cutting in enough to remove the
stretcher.

I'm taking apart a Knabe grand and on this one the plate is slightly
underneath the stretcher.  The block is not fitted to the stretcher and
the stretcher does not seem to want to come out, at least not easily.
But it will be in the way of the plate coming out.  I've taken apart
several Knabe's and not seen this arrangement, what gives?  I guess I
mean that literally and figuratively.
