Here is a question for anyone about the crossbar or crosspiece on a 9' grand - specifically a Steinway, but it could be other designs, also. In the PianoTech Archives are several mentions about this removable piece of the Steinway plate, but no mention about cracking plates because of removal. Has anyone had specific damage from taking this piece out for an extended time? Does anyone at Steinway have any horror stories to relate? --Joel
