Yes I have one. My 1881 C is going out today. I'll try out the web page and post  a picture or two. What's the address.?Thanks to all who responded positively to my ideas.     As to the Stwy Legs all I can say is I hate it when the client wants something they don't want to pay for. Not in my job discription.            Dale Erwin <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px"> Erwinspiano@aol.com wrote: > >In the vein of encouraging piano related topics perhaps >we could all post suggested topics we'd like to have discussed ,like >asking for suggestions for a chapter technical.

You wouldnt happen to have a digital camera would you. Perhaps you could even go so far as to adapting your technical to the list. If you need some space to put up pictures temporarilly, I can provide up to 4 megs of net accessable space. While we're on about it, I wouldnt mind hearing some suggestions for fixing chewed up feet for Steinway Grand legs. School piano and they dont want to change legs. But the castor mounts are all mucked up. I suggested these square metal brackets and epoxy for fill. Not particularilly elequent but functional. If anyone has a pretty and inexpensive fix I'd like to hear about it. > Thanks > Dale Erwin > Cheers! -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
