[pianotech] Wurlitzer lock

[Gerald Groot]

Sometimes, you can take a smaller sized screw driver, flat head and stick it
in there.  If it fits right, it'll turn the lock.  Doesn't always work..
But, sometimes it does.

I have a customer with a Wurlitzer studio with no key to open the top. Does

anyone know of a solution? 

 

 

Dean,

Those locks are usually a tumbler type of thingee with long arm on the back.
the arm usually goes into a slot on the inside, side of the piano. Perhaps a
thin ruler to push the arm out of the way. Or, a good locksmith could work
his magic on the tumblers.

Hope that helps somewhat. I may even have a key that fits it, as I have a
slug of those thing laying around from an olde store I purchased their
"shop". Seems to me most were kind of a "skeleton key" kind of thingee like
the "keep your hands off my piano" locks.
