Phil, The top just lifts straight up. After that, if you want to lift the stretcher, there are 2 metal thread screws on each side to undo, then pivot upright.

I use to own one in another life, and I can't remember if there's a trick to getting the top off or not. I already know to keep any stretch to a minimum on them, but getting to the tynes... any help? -Phil Bondi(Fl) _______________________________________________ pianotech list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives -- No virus found in this incoming message.
