Whereas it seems to be a similar model to yours, there is nothing connected to the blocks under the fallboard on my piano. Could this little piece of metal be designed to thrust forward the music desk when the fallboard is open? In other words, when the keys are covered the music desk is vertical, and when the fallboard is opened it comes in contact with the music desk and automatically puts it on an angle so the music sits nicely against it. On my Cable (which is actually a pretty nice piano) there is a piece of wood which can be pivoted manually to thrust the music desk forward. Tom Sivak
