What a suggestion! You surely know this puts the pianists = arms in the wrong position.

One has = to crane one's neck to read music on many grand music desks - yet that = is not so on uprights. OK so the fall gets in the way of any desk = extended lower on a grand. Why should we simply "put up" with this? = Anyone noticed this? And think of those people with a grand which, to = cut down on the noise of their playing, they close the top lid and place = the music desk on top of the closed lid... Severe craned neck ensues.
