Friends, When I saw how Yamaha handles these music racks, I looked until I found some small brass reinforcing straps which have a right angle bend. I shorten the material past the bend so that it equals the thickness of the music rack, then drill a hole which matches the broken out hole in the wood. Then, I screw the straps onto the rack from behind, insert the screws through the end fittings and presto!
