I feel confident about the one-bys being sufficient, Susan.  Will consider
the diagonal direction idea.

Thanks for the late night ramblings, Roger.  Definitely will dry fit first.

The wooden rails might catch some initial attention, but if they work, the
piano will just be a unique piece of modified piano construction that will
be the least of anyone's concern because the piano will be in tune.

Cost: maybe $30 or less.

Thanks once again, for the additional input, folks.
