a S&S grand have been damages, and the slot is now too big for the screw.
What are some ways to hold the rail on the piano? Two option I am considering
is drilling a hole through the front of the rail and attaching the rail to the
cheek block. The other option is to attach the rail with screws from the
bottom, like the way a lot of other grands have. The piano is in a
practice room, so cosmetics is not important. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
