Hi David, You've had some of the best minds on this list weigh in with their thoughts.? If you you need to borrow some stuff to "git 'er done," give me a holler. Alan Eder -----Original Message----- From: David Trasoff <david at davidtrasoff.com> To: pianotech at ptg.org Sent: Mon, 4 Aug 2008 9:58 pm Subject: "Downer" piano It was a classic scene I walked into--A community center where the stage area was part of a larger floor space. I came in as a musician playing (not piano) as part of a?dance?accompaniment?ensemble, and there it was, a 6' Petrof that the house staff had tried to move off the stage area into another room by just shoving and rolling it from the front, which was fine until they came to the transition from the bare floor to a carpeted area bordered with a raised edge and, yes, they had snapped off the rear leg and the piano was down at the back end. I wish I had?had?my camera, or?could?at least get my cell phone camera to work. I left a card, so it's possible I may get called. My question is this: I looked at the amputated rear leg, and it looks like the large lag screws?it was?attached?with had just been ripped out of their holes. How would one fill or otherwise reconstruct those holes in the back of the case so that the screws would have something to be screwed into? Also, what other?damage?might you typically look for after a piano takes a fall like that? The leg itself looked completely intact. I didn't check anything further under the piano at the time. Thanks!
