Yes, Terry, you're right. Always remove the fall board and remove =
pencils and other things. Make that a "must" - I have often been glad of =
making this a "must". Even in S&S though they are a mite more difficult =
until you get used to it...

  I thought of two other things Mark. If the fallboard simply lifts out =
(most do), I always remove the fallboard - it allows easy access to the =
action for debris removal and it prevents you from slamming the =
fallboard shut accidentally with your tuning arm (repeatedly!). And I =
always move the bench around to the treble side of the piano (I straddle =
the front treble piano leg) to tune the high treble section.
