Grin... Gotta snicker a bit at a couple of the responses against this er... <<practice>>. If the lid is handled carefully, this isnt going to damage anything. If the pianist gets some perceived benefit whats the big deal ? Make em happy. As to what it <<looks like>>... It's an unusual sight... thats about it. I remember my parents telling me bleached blue jeans looked stupid. I doubt seriously anyone in the audience would give it even half a thought. I will agree that some cheaper makes sometimes use less then stellar quality hardware that perhaps at some point needs replacing where better hardware would perhaps last longer.... but then thats prooaabbly part of why they were cheap to begin with. :) Even so I suppose if these lids were handled carefully they'd hold up ok over time. Not a biggie this one. Cheers RicB
