The clue is the leg having a hole to expose the screw going into = the cheek. Without a hole in the leg even in the wrong place, you can = discount this possibility Luckily a crew of carpenters was in the house and one of them made = a simple frame out of 2 by 6's stiffened with plywood gussetts. We lifted the piano and placed the frame under the front of the = keybed ,lifting the front legs an inch off the floor. I was able to to switch the legs and get the action out. This enabled the lady to not accept my proposal for regulation on = this 35 year old hadn't been tuned in 10 years ,neglected piano.
