[pianotech] butterfuly grand

Les:

I have done one butterfly several times in the past.  The lid is always up.  I don't remove tops to tune, I don't even raise the lid on pianos unless I have to get to a broken string.  Pianos are loud enough that I always wear hearing protectors.  Why would I want to raise the lid to tune it?

To those who've tuned a M&H Butterfly grand, did  you completely remove the lid to do it?  I'm going back for a second tuning of this beautifully redone little piano, and am a bit reticent to remove the whole lid because of possible accidental scratching, but afraid not to because of difficulty of tuning. Advice, please.......  Thanks
