I'm not worried about musical music desks. Only one light =20= bulb burning in the room at the tail end of the piano, which might be =20= why they needed to "fold back" the music desk. David, the fold down part already has a brass tube inserted in the =20 end. The folding part of the music desk is only so thick, and the =20 tube of sufficient size that only the outside layers of veneer are =20 supporting it. Some sort of metal capping would help. =20 Unfortunately, this one only has the screw holes up underneath pulled =20= out. You can't just put a plug or toothpicks in there either. It's =20 a soft wood that just tears all to pieces.
