I just Surveyed a Collard & Collard, (Clementi), Square Piano, this week. It
had a "sticker" on the bass end that explained the method of extracting the
action. This explaination was due to the fact that it was probably one of
the first to have a one-piece action. What they had done, was to drill a
square bottom hole, (as in Forstner type) and inserted a screw, that could
be grabbed with a pair of pliers. A bit crude, but functional. Perhaps
someone could try to do a variation on that theme.
