Just use a prop stick of some type. I used to use a thin diameter curtain rod between the lid and the treble tuning pins. Now, I use the Stringer tool with rubber bumpers on the ends instead. I know another person who just uses the soft pedal dowell rod to prop the lid. Sincerely, Keith McGavern Registered Piano Technician Oklahoma Chapter 731 Piano Technicians Guild USA
