  I always use a lyre brace since a brand new chinese one broke its lyre when I was tipping.  No problems since.   


  You can by one from QRS or you can make your own.


  length of steel electrical conduit
  length of all-thread that just fits inside
  a matching nut and washer
  a length of 2x2
  self adhesive felt lamp bottom covers
  some type of flexible adhesive like PL400


  cut the 2x2 into two reasonable lengths and drill one corner to accept conduit/all-thread and adhesive
  apply the self adhesive felt to the business sides of the 2x2s and you have an adjustable brace.

    Hello Garrett,

         I never tip a Oriental  Grand Piano on the Lyre.
    I tip all  American  Pianos except  one, that  being
    the H.C.Bay.
       
         Weak  wood  is always  weak  wood.
    I have repaired too many pedal Lyres.
