I wanted to open a Premier Baby Grand 4'9" and I stumbled upon a problem removing the action. I removed the fall board with cheek blocks attached, and the key slip. There were no other screws holding the action in place. I also removed part of the trap work since I thought, that the broken 'soft' pedal might have something sticking upward to make removing of the action impossible.Part of the trap work my not be enough, check the lyre screws (if any) going into the keybed, if they stick up far enough, they will hold on to the action. I was able to lift the front of the action up so I could look underneath, whether a screw might have been drilled through the key bead and so impeding the removal of the action. There was nothing visible. So, perhaps you covered my previous point, but, it might be hard to see, it doesn't take much to hold the action. The bass side of the action gave way to about 1/8 of an inch, the treble side moved nothing. (The sustain pedal shifts from right to left). The action felt like being screwed to the back of the piano.Check the screws or bolts that hold the legs in front, sometimes there are different sizes and the movers put the long ones into the action cavity and the short ones in the back leg. Michael, Chicago Does anybody have an idea what I might have missed? Thanks for looking at this. Ursula Hammerling, RPT -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
