Mark and Keith, Another trick to try if the lyre is just a little loose is to take the lyre off and run thin viscosity CA glue around the dowels and wedges, make sure there is no trace left on the top of the lyre then reattach. This might just prevent the above problem from happening later on. I heard Yamaha talking about this with regard to Disklavier Lyres which get very hard use from those big solenoids.
