Hi Rick,
Remove the screws from the lyre or back them out 1/2" or so. Most likely =
the movers have used the leg screws on the lyre. If that does not work, =
pry gently on a corner of the action to see where the action is bound to =
the bed.
Once in a high school someone had tipped a bottle of glue over and it =
ran into the action gluing it solid.Slowly with my longest screw driver, =
I worked it loose and then cleaned up the hardened mess.
Ah memories! <G>

    List,

    I tuned a Bergmann/YC BG yesterday with a sostenuto pedal that would =
not slide the action.  Tried to pull the action to see what was going on =
and it would not come out using appropriate force.  Seems to me that it =
might be as simple as some kind of "locking device" used for shipment =
that was not removed in dealer prep - but since I am an independent RPT =
and a "newby" full-time tuner I have no experience with this particular =
issue.

    Also, on the same piano, one wing bolt was missing where the pedal =
lyre attaches to the bottom of the keybed.

    Help?

        I know you mean una chorda.=20

        Drop the lyre--Possible too long screws protruding into =
keyframe(Unlikely on a new piano)=20

        2 Check for one or more capstans on top of hammer flange rail . =
These are jammed into the bottom of the pinblock for shipping on many =
Asian pianos--Pearl River comes to mind as an example.=20

        Good luck,=20
