Absolutely NO way!  Yamaha made the entire piano and that fallboard
arrangement was SO easy to take out and put back.  The guide arms had
slots in them that were guided in turn with a pin.  Spread the arms
slightly and it just lifted out.  It was as easy to replace.

	Newton,
	I defer to your infinite wisdom. 
	The spinet I worked on was in a nursing home and with the desert
like environment this one was a pile of match ticks. Maybe in another 25
years I'll see another. 
	Thanks for the clarification.
