[pianotech] Quick Question - New Type Steinway Lyre and Leg Attachment

[Joe DeFazio]

Thanks, Mark!  Got it done in a timely fashion.

Now that I have done what I needed to do, for the sake of completeness  
of the archives (in case anyone else has a similar question in the  
future):

The legs attach as Mark's pictures show.

The lyre is held on by conventional sliding dovetailed plates; the  
lyre slides forward (toward the player) for removal.  The only  
difference between this and an older Steinway is that the older  
Steinway uses a cam to keep the lyre plates locked together, while the  
new ones use a pair of wood screws (traveling through the top of the  
lyre and into the keybed) to keep the lyre plates locked together.

Thanks,

Joe DeFazio
