Matthew,
   Have you removed the cheek blocks and fallboard? That would be the first step. Likely the cheek blocks are securing the keyslip.
   On the key level thing, eliminate debris and other obstructions from the equation before messing with balance punchings.
   If you got a referral, just name the source when you call. If you need the work, call.

Have fun,
Guy

I was over at a good friends house earlier today.  He has a nice Schafer & Sons grand piano.  I was checking out the piano and I noticed that the keyslip doesn't have the usual screws underneath to unscrew, nor does it just pop out.  But I did notice when I lifted up the slip a little, what looked like wooden dowels that appeared to hold the keyslip in place.  Could that be the case?  The keyslip didn't seem to move very easily and I wanted to know if I would need to take a small screwdriver and just work the keyslip up and out.  Have any of you ever encountered this type before?





Thanks! 
Matthew
