<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Golly Alan, your picture is terrible! It is very
hard to see what is what there. It appears that the top horizontal board on the
back of the piano has migrated? Is that correct? You want to bolt through the
backposts. Most good quality pianos have backposts that extend up to the top of
the piano back. My guess is this piano may have backposts that terminate short
of the top. If that is the case, I would think real hard about whether the piano
is worth saving. What kind is it? What is the condition? If it is not worth a
one or two $K, the piano likely has a terminal condition. If those posts
don't extend up to the top, the whole back of the piano really needs to come
apart to fix it properly. </FONT></DIV>
