Hi All,
This may be more appropriate fodder for pianotech, but I tuned a 1969 Story & Clark model 158 grand made by Yamaha the other day, and I wanted to pull the action to make some adjustments to the sostenuto rod and damper upstop rail, but could not for the life of me find the screws that hold the keyblocks down. The rubber buttons did not look large enough to conceal screws beneath and, not having any rubber buttons with me for replacement (much less, brown ones), I didn't want to take a chance of tearing them all to pieces to find out. They are, after all 40 years old. The top part of the legs come almost to the front edge of the keybed, covering up the area where Yamaha keyblock screws would normally be. Certainly one does not have to remove the legs to pull the action? Or is there a secret somewhere I couldn't locate? Anybody out there familiar with this piano?

Thanks in advance,
Jeff Tanner
