Judging from my own experience and those I know well unless it's an important piano, to somebody, a customer, the world at large etc. The best thing to do is to walk away, quickly. If you already have some considerable funds tied up in it then you might consider the lock n stitch recommended by the others. I do know welding, even by a very good welder, seldom works. I happen to live in an area where we have a plethora of welders because it's taught at the local Technical College for the AC manufacturer that has their main production plant here. So we have a lot of knowledge and talent to draw on all of the welded plates I ppersonally know of have failed, usually right next to where they'd been welded within 2 or 3 years.
