Ken,
I don't see the relationship between which direction the action shifts and parts falling off . For sure this sounds like any one of many "stencil "pianos from the 1930's with it's designed in limitations but approach it as you would any other instrument. Service and improve it if that is in the customers best interest --- or not .
Best wishes,
Tom D.

I am working on a poorly refinished 5'1" grand, which I know is obviously of
a lesser grade. (No agraffes, faux sustenuto, pedals with unusual box
construction. The una corda pedal shifts the action to the left, not the
right. In 20 years, I've only had one piano like that and it was a Hardman
which seemed to be of better quality. I am somewhat concerned about taking
the action out for fear that parts might fall off or other problems could
occur. Does anybody know what I am working on?
