Phil The advice you've been getting has been excellent. You can make the repair yourself, but I wonder if just getting a new leg from Steinway might be a better way to go. They usually have them in stock,and you could have it in three or four days. Is this a new enough piano that it might be covered under warrantee?

I got a note from a rather new client a few days ago, and he described a problem I have not seen before with one of the legs, so I thought I would ask here. Here is the note he sent to me:? ? By the way, the right front leg of the piano has something wrong. The top of the leg is attached securely to the body of the piano. However the lower part of the leg has become loose - there must be some bolt inside that has loosened, or so it seems. Whatever it is, it is not accessible from the top, it has to be accessed from the bottom of the leg, where the caster is. In case you are not familiar with the construction of this Steinway leg, I thought you might research it, so that we can discuss a plan of action when you come. It is nothing urgent, but I think sooner or later it will have to be fixed.? ? If you have any thoughts, I am listening.? ? Thanks,? ? -Phil Bondi(Fl? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://ptg.org/pipermail/pianotech.php/attachments/20090915/d719af3a/attachment.htm>
