<DIV>Hi, Andrew -</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If necessary to raise the lyre, consider doing it by raising the piano,=
say
a half inch. Do this by making spacers to install between the stage do=
lly
'arms' and the square plates that hold the legs. You can use steel of
course - if you're handy with that - or very hard wood, perhaps pinblock
material worked to appropriate dimensions. It is important to place th=
ese
spacers under the square plates, not above, nor attached to bottoms of
legs. You'll have to replace the three bolts with longer ones, but jus=
t
long enough; otherwise they are apt to catch on obstructions. Probably=
no
one will notice the higher keyboard, especially if an adjustable bench is
used.</DIV>
