appears that someone tried to fold the music desk backwards, and it =
didn't go, so they thought they had to force it. I'm not worried =

the tail end of the piano, which might be why they needed to "fold back" =
the music desk.<DIV><BR =

already has a brass tube inserted in the end. The folding part of the =
music desk is only so thick, and the tube of sufficient size that only =
the outside layers of veneer are supporting it. Some sort of metal =
capping would help. Unfortunately, this one only has the screw holes =
up underneath pulled out. You can't just put a plug or toothpicks in =
there either. It's a soft wood that just tears all to pieces.<DIV><BR =
