Under the legs - one would not find the screws, but rather the casters and
then the floor..... <G>

Have you tried looking under the legs.   If there is a hole in the back part
of the leg that goes no where, then the legs might be on backward.   Just
switch them and there will be a screw you can get to.

List.  I need to remove the action from a Story & Clark by Yamaha, 6'-0",
SN410000, grand,  and cannot figure

out how to remove the cheek blocks and key slip.  Got the fall board out
with no problem but can't

find the combination on the blocks and key slip.  There are no screws under
the key slip to remove as

in most other pianos, and couldn't fine any screws under the cheek blocks.

    Would appreciate a little help please.

Gordon,

    My guess is that the movers switched the bass and treble legs.

    I'm trying to remember the details but there will be a notch in the leg
or a hole that exposes the screw for the cheek blocks.

    With the legs in the right place the screws are exposed.

    

    This happened to me this year.

    There was a carpenter doing some work in the house and he made a frame
with 2 by 6 lumber and plywood gussetts that was an inch taller than the
bottom of the keybed

    We lifted the piano onto the frame and I switched the legs.

    

    

    I'll bet Phil Bondi's  house that this is your problem.
