List, It's amazing. Four years ago I didn't even know this forum existed. Now, as soon as I run into a problem I've never dealt with before, the first place I go to for advice/help is this list! I'm sure glad it's here! Now for the problem. I just went to set up an old 'O' I have had stored on its side for a while in a room across from my office (I was going to loan it to our PTG chapter to use in PACE classes). Guess what? One of the legs is missing!!! Stolen, I assume. I should have put all the smaller parts in my "shop" I guess, but it just never occurred to me that someone would take a leg, of all things. What I need is any advice about ordering a set of legs that would fit this piano. Would it be legs for an L? *Any* of the smaller models? I'm assuming that there would probably be a height difference between the new and old legs. If so, would it be possible to cut down (assuming it's longer) a new leg to match the old ones? Instead of having to buy a complete set? I wanted to get some advice before I even called New York. Legs specifically labeled for an 'O' are not on the Steinway price list. Surely someone on this list has had a similar problem. Or am I the only one who doesn't think about putting all smaller parts out of reach? :-) Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. Avery P.S. Of course, if we had unlimited money, I'd just send it to a good rebuilder and let them rebuild the piano with all *new* legs and pedal lyre.
