[pianotech] fallboard lock

[Greg Newell]

I bought one of these and never used it. I’d be happy to sell it if anyone
is interested.

David,
QRS makes a retrofittable slow fall mechanism. aka FALLBOARD CLOSER 
It is basically a pneumatic pouch which a wire cable attaches to the inside
of the fall. Good instructions for installation. Have successfully 
installed many of these in old (non-asian) pianos which did not have the
slow dfall mechanisms.

Hello List,
Is there any device that would lock the fallboard in open position
on a grand piano.  I have a client with 2 year old twins.  They want the
kids
able to play the keys, but they are afraid of the fall board slamming down
on
their  fingers.
Thanks,
David Weiss
