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