  Hi Barbara,

  =20

  There are "windows" (for lack of a better term) with glass. So the lid =
is not solid structurally, but still heavy. I think one lid prop could =
flex the lid and if someone leaned on it they would break all that =
glass.

  Sundance film festival. They had 4 of the "Steinway legends" and they =
didn't really use them for concerts, just for the public to play, =
although I did have to tune them daily. (The room was awful! Hot & cold =
w/ radiant heaters) In addition to the 4 "legends" they brought #365 for =
nightly concerts. A GREAT piano! I tuned it nightly for the concerts but =
the others were just for the public. Some great jazz artists there.

  Hey Jim,

  =20

  Actually, I was sort of wondering where the glass came in--hard to =
tell in the picture, except there's something interesting on the =
underside of the lid. =20

  =20

  You worked on it!!   Was it for a concert?  Hmm, I wonder what the =
repertoire would be for a piano like that?  :-)

year ago----truly stunning.) =20

    Hi Barbara,

    =20

    It has 2 lid props because the stained glass (plastic?) in the top =
made the lid unstable (AND, I'm sure, for artistic reasons :-). Anyway, =
I spent a week on the beast this winter and when I'd raise the lid it =
felt like it was "bending" a lot.

    Wow!!!

    =20

    So, does it have two lid props just for the hell of it, or is there =
something about the lid that requires two?  I can't remember what the =
supports on the bottom side of the lid are called.  Do they light up or =
are they just plexiglass with colored rods inside?

    My 8 year old son would love it.  Speaking of, has anyone done a =
Lego Steinway?
