Tech Tip! Grand Lid Prop Do's and Don'ts

When the lid of a grand piano is raised, it is held open by a wooden stick called the lid prop. Most lid props have a smaller stick called a half-prop, which can be used to keep the lid partially raised.
You’ll know if you are using the grand piano lid prop properly because there will be a 90 degree "lid to stick" angle.
NEVER put the longer lid prop at the wrong resting point, because at the wrong angle, it can slide out and cause injury.
