[pianotech] broken piano leg

[Jon Page]

Can the section of the toe block can be removed from the case?

Place the piano on a tilter and glue the leg onto the case section of the block
to aide with alignment. Then either of the following:
-Route out a section to insert a spline.
-Reinforce with threaded rod from the rear if it can be removed from the case.
-Before gluing, drill for pins; larger holes to allow epoxy to fill 
the gap while aligning.
-Another reinforcement would be to install a metal plate on the 
bottom of the reassembled leg, recessed if need be.

If the budget doe not allow for an invisible repair, I hope there are 
enough books to stack or tell them to get some angle and strap 
brackets.
