<P>I have a music teacher customer with a Yamaha grand that has a poorly counter-balanced (or some problem) fallboard. It has made several credible attempts to chop hands off young students.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>It appears to have never had any sort of close-retarding mechanism, let alone a Soft-Close device.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Tried Googling up a solution, 'cause I know it's been on the list, but I got endless chains of stuff and no answers (and no hits when I added "site:www.ptg.org" for some reason.)</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Someone help me out here, please. What's a good fix?</P>
