[pianotech] Fw: broken piano leg

[John Ross]

It looks like there is a cavity, in the splintered break.
So just put lots of epoxy in there, with the piano on its back,
the splintered bits will bond better than a smooth surface.
Haven't done it, but looks doable.
How was the top of the leg attached?
Possibly a right angle bracket, on the back edge.

  Any suggestion on this repair, I have a few ideas but want to hear from anyone who has done this.
  The customer does not want to spend a lot of money so I want to know how it can be reinforced,
  and done at the customers home. The base part of the leg and the post are still in one piece.
