<DIV> Listers & college techs</DIV>
<DIV> Last month I posted about beefing up the wood=
fibers in the 24 small screw holes that hold the older style=
stwy music rack to the desk by inserting a bit of epoxy in the=
holes, spraying the screws with mold release & reinserting=
them. The mold release is so the screws can be taken=
out,tightened or serviced at a later date</DIV>
<DIV> In conjunction with that I have now added the=
nice strong folding brace found in the Schaff cat. Part=
no.940-w called desk support. It is a far better set up than the=
folding metal stick with collar type it inserts in &=
far more permanent. Easy to locate & attach</DIV>
<DIV> The 940-w is very similar to the support=
on all new stwys & I guarantee it will keep the screws from=
becoming loose & stripped from heavy books & players of=
all ages pressing the pages hard against the rack. This=
will now be sop on every stwy rebiuild. No more service calls=
with the rack laying in the piano & screws all over the=
place. Know what I mean?</DIV>
