Propping up side-hinged lid

[PAUL CLEMENT]

Hi all

This is my first post to the list...

I have a question about techniques for propping open the lid of a piano with a side hinged lid. I tuned a Yamaha M1A the other day and couldn't figure out a good way to get the lid open high enough so that I could get my tuning hammer on the pins vertically. I tried flipping the lid all the way open but it hit the ceiling. And short of unscrewing the hinge from the lid of case I couldn't come up with anything.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
