Paul I've seen one of these pianos before. Remove the bottom panel, and you'll discover that the wippens are not attached to the stickers.?All you have to do is remove the action bracket screws, and action will lift right out, leaving the stickers in the piano, attached to the keys.

I mean other than the obvious unscrewing 88 dowels. They thoughtfully made it easy to pull the action... but I'm thinking maybe they compromised on the ease of removing keys!
