 Yes, and yes.? It's not a good practice.

My Colleagues,


?


? I recently tuned a concert grand for a 
visiting well-known pianist.? He insisted that when the grand lid is opened 
and resting on the long stick, that the -front- lid be closed.? That is, 
the front lid was extended toward the player with?its?bass?edge 
resting on the bass end of the piano case.? The rest of the front lid was 
supported only by?its hinges.


?


? Have any of you seen a grand lid 
-intentionally- left open in this configuration?? Does that stress the 
hinge which connects the front lid with the main lid?


?


Your comments please.
