Can you describe these? Is one the triangle made of strapping 
covered with bushing cloth which I first bought at Schaff? Or the 
one that Bill Spurlock sells, with a stick with ends cut to 45 degrees, 
suede covered, and a nylon cord going through a heavy short dowel of 
nylon? Or the one like the Steinway lid prop? Or the one with a stick 
like Bill Spurlock's, only with a tape going around a wooden dowel, 
glued to the ends of the stick. 

All of them I welcomed with joy and relief! I don't leave home without 
at least two of them.
