It was so loose, I did not think a routine hit would do the job, and I didn't want to play with it too much,as the piano was only delivered a few hours in advance, in the pouring rain.What would some of you had done,as I know most available repairs,but not what the dealer would have wanted.<BR>Best,<BR>Hazen Bannister</FONT> </FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
