To List from Sy Zabrocki=09 Once in a church a pastor asked me if I could provide a modest curtain = for the grand piano. With enthusiam I replied "Yes, I can probably help = out with that . . . now if you'll just tell me what it is." I'm sorry, I = didn't know. Well it's a curtain hung under the grand behind the pedal = lyre. Why is it needed? The piano at the front of the church was elevated about 3 or 4 steps = higher than the pews. Now the direct line of sight from the congregation = was straight under the piano at the lyre. Now imagine a lady seated at = the piano facing the congregation and she might be wearing a skirt. = Maybe there would be exhilarate moments of pedaling or just accidental = careless moments. Someone in the congregation might see . . . ah . . . = might become distracted. So the modesty curtain.=20 You just improvise a rail of some kind and mount it under the piano. = Then choose an appropriate fabric and mount it onto the rail. One church = uses a small thin partition of paneling mounted on feet. It slides under = the piano behind the lyre and is easily moved for cleaning.=20 This item doesn't seem to listed in any of the supply catalogs. It only = come up a few times in my travels.=20 Sy Zabrocki
