I always use a lyre brace since a brand new chinese one broke its lyre when I was tipping.  No problems since.   


You can by one from QRS or you can make your own.


length of steel electrical conduit
length of all-thread that just fits inside
a matching nut and washer
a length of 2x2
self adhesive felt lamp bottom covers
some type of flexible adhesive like PL400


cut the 2x2 into two reasonable lengths and drill one corner to accept conduit/all-thread and adhesive
apply the self adhesive felt to the business sides of the 2x2s and you have an adjustable brace.

  Hello Garrett,

       I never tip a Oriental  Grand Piano on the Lyre.
  I tip all  American  Pianos except  one, that  being
  the H.C.Bay.
     
       Weak  wood  is always  weak  wood.
  I have repaired too many pedal Lyres.
