Subject: [SFPTG] Kranich & Bach Grand Action removal. Please forward


How does one remove the action from a Kranich & Bach Grand?  This piano, at
least 100 years old, does not have the shifting action, but rather the
vertical-type soft pedal that moves the hammer rail up closer to the
strings.  It does not slide out when removing cheeks , fall board and key
slip.  The action appears to be attached to the key bed.  There are no
visible screwsapparent screws at the front rail either beneath the keys or
at the right and left of the action.

Looking up at the bottom of the key bed from the floor there are four bolts
with slotted nuts  embedded in the keybed underneath.  Are these what hold
the action in?  If so, it appears that  a special tool is needed to turn the
nuts out.

Anyone seen this before?  Any idea how to remove the action?
