Most likely = the movers have used the leg screws on the lyre. If that does not work, = pry gently on a corner of the action to see where the action is bound to = the bed. Once in a high school someone had tipped a bottle of glue over and it = ran into the action gluing it solid.Slowly with my longest screw driver, = I worked it loose and then cleaned up the hardened mess.
