Also check to be sure that there are no blocks screwed into the case sides
that may be trapping the action brackets or the hammer rail at the side.

Hello,

I very much like an answer to a problem, that I encountered today. 
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. 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. 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.

Does anybody have an idea what I might have missed?

Thanks for looking at this.


Ursula Hammerling, RPT
