Marshall: If it's the model I'm thinking of, there is a little metal lever with a plastic end behind the cheek blocks on each end. If you pull that lever it releases from the pin where the fall board pivots. It's a bit obscured, but visible. dp From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Marshall Gisondi Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2011 3:00 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: [pianotech] a key cover question Hi Everyone, I tuned a yamaha at a school serial number 1415576. I wanted to remove the key cover but I was stumped on how to get it off. I couldn't find a screw anywhere or even a pin to lift it off from. it's one that doesn't get played much but I wanted to correct some lost motion. I could have done it with the key cover in the way because it folded way forward, but not enough to get out of the way entirley. There is some sort of little plastic guide on the piano itself and the key cover seems to travel on this rounded metal pice that's attached to the piano itself. I should have taken a picture of it with my phone. So any ideas would be great so I know what to do next time I tune it.
