Greetings, So, in my email this morning is a note from the head of the music department, (who has students playing a Crumb piece_) "We will need to remove the diagonal screwed-in bar on one of the hall pianos for the performance (I don't recall which, but will figure it out by this weekend) in order to strum strings that are on either side of the bar."" I don't really think taking the plate strut out is a good idea, seems like it isn't going to go back in very gracefully. Anybody out there have experience with strut removal and reinstallation, under full tension, on a Steinway D? Thanks, Ed Foote RPT
