If I am understanding what part you are talking about - the rail just in front of the balance rail/key button, I have found that on one side or other of the cabinet, the case is "rabbit-ed" out so the slip slides sideways (left or right) into the rabbit and then lifts out from the other side.

  Gentlemen:

   

  I have a customer that has a  Wurlitzer spinet, SN  212659, 1941, that has a 1.5 - 2" wide key rail that I can't remove.

   Need to know how by March 1, 2010 so that I can Clean the keys and keybed.

   

  The rail slides backwards towards the spinet action on 2 inset cut-outs in the piano case itself. 

  It reaches a stop after about 3-5" of travel and goes no further.

  Trying to slide it back at an angle doesn't help - not enough room to pop out an end.

  Lifting it up in the middle allows some bending but I don't think it's too rigid to free it without snapping the rail in half.

   

  Would appreciate any solution you might have.

   

  Thank you,
