Paul List,   On a Steinway M the mover broke the music desk guide strip.  The part that protrudes out to guide the music desk on and off, (the tongue), is completely broken off.  I need to remove the remaining portion and replace the slide.   What is the best way to get the rest of the broken strip out so I can install a new one?   Thanks,   David Weiss         </BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
