[pianotech] a key cover question

[David M. Porritt]

Marshall:

 

If it's the model I'm thinking of, there is a little metal lever with a
plastic end behind the cheek blocks on each end.  If you pull that lever it
releases from the pin where the fall board pivots.  It's a bit obscured, but
visible.

Subject: [pianotech] a key cover question

 

Hi Everyone,
I tuned a yamaha at a school serial number 1415576.  I wanted to remove the
key cover but I was stumped on how to get it off.  I couldn't find a screw
anywhere or even a pin to lift it off from.  it's one that doesn't get
played much but I wanted to correct some lost motion.  I could have done it
with the key cover in the way because it folded way forward, but not enough
to get out of the way entirley.  There is some sort of little plastic guide
on the piano itself and the key cover seems to travel on this rounded metal
pice that's attached to the piano itself. I should have taken a picture  of
it with my phone.  So any ideas would be great so I know what to do next
time I tune it. Thanks
Marshall
