halfstick

[Lou Novak]

David-

Experiment with the placement of the short support before attaching to the longer support.
Long support will bend, due to the weight of the lid, if short support is not properly placed.
Don't forget to also order the lid support cup #938 or #938N.(Schaff)

or order the unfinished Steinway style Grand Prop Stick # 851. (Schaff)

  Schaff has grand lid support flaps, 12" long, (part # 935 in brass, 936 nickel), that attach to the lid prop.

  List,

  I have a client with a restored 1917 Steinway A.  She has decided that it is important to her to be able to leave the lid halfway open.  The current prop stick only allows for the lid to be in the full open position.

  What is the best way to install a half stick?  Do I need to replace the current prop stick with another that has both full stick and short stick?  Or is the a short stick that can be retrofitted on the current stick?  

  Thanks,

  David Weiss
