It may be that there is a horizontal guide pin coming out of the back of
each cheek block that slides into a hole in the top piece.  If that is the
case, if you push the board away from the keys it may slide out far enough
that you can lift it away.

It's held together by either screws or friction. If you have already removed
screws, the finish might be holding it in place. Tap...gently. If you can't
locate screws, then gently pull in the middle or ends to see where the
screws are. There should be some "give" at various places.

 

It might be one of those pianos that have slots that the rail slides on.
Some Story & Clark consoles have top lids like these.

 

Don't panic...examine. Figure it out. It's just a piano. ;-)
