It is 1925 according to my brand new Pierce.

 

I only need to solidify the whole lyre by adding some length to the braces
(I think of inserting some rubber pads to take the slack when it is dry like
now- I figure that in summer it is tight?)

HI Allan,

It depends upon the vintage, but it's not too challenging.  If you remove
the pedal rods from the back of the pedals, you can then usually just remove
the faceplate to pull the pedals.  Remove the 6 screws in the brass (or
chrome or nickel) faceplate from which the pedals emerge, and the assembly
will slide right out to you.

If you need to address the raviolis (pedal cushions) or the felts that line
the box, you'll need to remove the 8 (?) screws from the bottom of the pedal
box and it will come off.

What vintage is this piano, Allan??

William R. Monroe

 

How is the Steinway pedal assembly taken off?

 

Thank you

 

Allan Sutton
