Acrosonic puzzler

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi Phil,
Fustratin isint it.
Without being able to see what you are faced with it is impossible to guess
what the correct answer might be.
I would suggest going to one side of the piano and looking at the opposite
side with the help of a flash light. Look for evidence of a snap spring or
capture devise of some sort.
You may only be able to see the screws or rim or edge of whatever they used.
