Read the instructions. For heaven's sake, just do what I did.... Fiddle with it for about 15 minutes, turn to the owner and say: "You know how to open this thing?" Why it makes you look so brilliant, so professional, so smart! Actually, I felt pretty stupid but, luckily, the owner didn't know either so she didn't show me up. And I did figure it out eventually. My Wurly was a little different than Terry's....his is real purty. By the way, I thought almost all piano manufacturing ceased during WWII, in favor of war material production, but I guess Wurlitzer was chugging along.

To open the sides, there are two screws below the keybed on both sides where the curved side piece meets the kneeboard (one a few inches below the keybed and the other maybe six inches above the floor). There might be a screw on the top part also that is accessible after the tops are opened - I don't remember as its been a few years. I had this one refinished for a lady - kinda nice because I didn't have to take the piano to the refinisher - just removed all the case pieces, threw them in the trunk of my car and dropped them off for refinishing! Definitely a way-cool cabinet. Terry Farrell > Bingo! > Boy that was quick.
