First the easy one would be where you get to the fall board screws from = the side of the board. There might be two screws on each end that hold = the hardwear on to a long strap of brass. remove the screws and the = fallboard / key cover comes out to allow you to ( heres the second one ) expose screws that are driven in at a slant into the cheek block. This = is hard to spot as all parts including screws are painted black. They = can be seen and removed if you depress A0 and C8. Then the cheek blocks = and sometimes the whole assembly comes out together. Let me know what you discover> It might help me remember the name of = that critter Geo Steck or was it another masked bandit.

I have run across a piano I wanted to = ask you about. Have you done any work on a George Steck Baby Grand = Piano? The one I tuned was manufactured in 1932, there was no problem = tuning it. The owner wanted me to take the action out and clean it. The = key rail came off as usual. The problem was the fall board. There were = no screws to loosen, there were no slots to align so it would come out. = I could see the pins that the fall board pivoted on and tried every = thing I could to find the secret to get the fall board off to no avail. = Another strange feature was that the blocks at each end of the keyboard = were fasten in with screws going in from the top instead of the bottom. = The only way to get to these screws was to take the fall board off = first. I could use any help you can give on this one. The piano is in = good condition for its age. There is no way to make any repairs if = needed in the future if I can't find out how to get the fall board off. = I search the Internet for info but came up empty handed. Any help you = can give me will certainly be appreciated. = Thanks, = Bill ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
