Disklavier

Ha...if you see my earlier post, I had one expensive technician come 
to my house and fix my DK.  He was a good guy so I asked him about my 
stand coming down on me....and he pointed out the obvious: the hinges 
were bent.  Maybe from someone leaning down on it too hard (previous 
owner).  Nonetheless, thats a repair I can handle.
