  I don't know if you gotten an anwer to this question, but I don't see one, so here goes.  
   
  I haven't unpacked new Yamahas, but I suspect that it is shipped like most other pianos.  There are probably strips of wood tied to action brackets to keep the hammers from flopping around during moving.  They are easily untied and removed once you get the action out.
   
  On some pianos, there are screws that press up against the pinblock from the action to keep it from sliding around when moved.  You may have to lower them to get the action out.  There might be wood blocks to wedge the action in.  These can usually be pulled out without much fuss.
   
  Check pedal adjustment, too.

Subject: Silly Question #1 for 2006

   
    I have recently been asked by I piano dealer in NY (I live in GA) to go and remove the packing material from under the action of a new Yamaha GB1 that was recently delivered to one of their customers.  I have no dealer prep experience, but have been told that all I have to do is to remove the action and the packing material will drop out and thus allow the action to play.

     

    Is this true and all I need to know in order to do the job?  Like, are there any extra steps involved in getting the action out of the piano for the first time?  Any help will be appreciated - I am scheduled to do the job tomorrow.

     

    Thank-you.
