[pianotech] Lyre Damage

[Andrew Anderson]

To remove the leg, the lyre must be set up on a rolled up blanket.   
All rolling is done with a blanket under the lyre.  If I were to  
choose not to use a lyre I would come up with some sort of replacement  
because the leverage situation without is just brutal.
