Hello- What sort of systems do you use to lock a nice fortepiano? What we have been using is a goofy looking combination of straps made by the local shoe maker. One piece wraps around the narrow part of the case with 2 straps extended forward and around the front to underneath where they all join and are locked together with a padlock. Actually, this might work better if it had been designed with a little extra length, but it is a real pain to get all the pieces connected and locked together. We say it almost looks like a chastity belt.... and not what we're looking for. If somebody made a hands-off fallboard lock that was 14" tall I think we would put in screws for that. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. cheers, Dennis Johnson ____ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
