[CAUT] topstick

[Bob Hull]

That's my guess, too.   I  bet a stage hand did it, or a pianist. It's going to be costly because I had to drive down there (1 hour round trip), order the part already finished (3x higher that way) but they need it fast.  Then, another trip to install it.

    I bet someone closed the lid with it sticking out (angled past the receptacle hole), and it split. Then, rather than acknowledge their booboo (and allow for a cheap and easy glue back together), they dumped it. I've had that happen a couple times, except for the dumping it part, and both sticks are functioning fine (with a barely noticeable glue line).
