You forgot the pianos that have 2 springs to hold the bottom board (one at each end). I literally have to kiss the keys just to get my 2 hands on these springs. Now when I find these, I remove one spring and re-install the other in the middle of the keybed where it belongs.

Why do manufactures insist on making pianos a monkey puzzle to take apart to work on. Biggest annoyance are muffler rails. Bottom boards on uprights that one must pass the panel around the front legs and so little room at the top I need to get on my back on the floor to raise the board into place. Front panel attached to fall board so that the unit must come out as one piece. And an old one that I seldom see any more, end pieces that cover the first and last pins so that other tuners seldom tune these before me O:< Joe Goss BSMusEd MMusEd RPT imatunr at srvinet.com www.mothergoosetools.com _________________________________________________________________ Les vidéos qui font jaser!
