<div>That is the part of the case in front of the pin block and
plate,</div>
<div>removable on some Ferengi pianos, that stretches from one</div>
<div>side to the other. Actually it's probably fit fairly well and not
put</div>
<div>under any tension, otherwise it would have a tendency to
pull</div>
<div>the sides inwards.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Not much call for plank stretchers these days. Even after
cutting</div>
<div>it twice and still being too short, it's only short on one end;
hence</div>
<div>the birth of the center medallion.</div>
