I have a new customer, a restaurant, with an old Brambach baby grand. Not too bad shape - new strings and pins within the last few years, I'd say. Out of the left side by the bass hammers comes a cord, fairly new, evidently from a heater bar under the pin block area. Trouble is I can't get the fallboard to close, and therefore can't get it off for action removal. (Needs regulation.) It only moves about a quarter of an inch with all the screws out from under the cheek blocks, etc. I've checked with a mirror but can't see anything catching. I've felt with a bent coathanger behind the fallboard, but can't feel anything in the way. I can see enough between the top of the fallboard and bottom of the pinblock to see that nothing is blocking anything there. I guess the next step is to hire some strong men to pick up the piano, after removing the lyre and rear leg, tilt it toward the rear, and shake it to see if anything falls out from the fallboard area. Any other ideas? Wally Scherer, Palm Beach County, Florida __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail SpamGuard - Read only the mail you want. http://antispam.yahoo.com/tools
