The movers again. They are scary around here. I'm at a complete loss as =
to who to recommend. This time the piano was wobbly. A 1923 Estey baby =
grand with H style legs and 2 studs and 2 toe screws per leg, only had =
bolts on the right front leg. The other 2 legs were held on by just 1 =
toe screw. They must have had problems with movers in 1923 to have =
designed it to stand up anyway.
They also lost the Lyre support rods. Were those made from dowel stock? =
Looks like a socket for a rounded end or did I look too quick? What =
would have been the original wood they were made out of? I prefer to =
duplicate original if possible. Were the sockets lined? Felt, buckskin? =
Are the Shaff brass rods the only other option? Thanks for your =
experience.
