[pianotech] Mute removal

[Alan Forsyth]

A screwdriver works if the screw  head is not stripped. Originally with those Yamahas you didn't need a screwdriver as they used a "thumbscrew" wing screw type thingee. But it is still a lousy system; there are much better designs on most pianos. Some unclip, some slip into notches and grooves and some just tilt backwards for access.

  So you have a screw driver.  Show-off!  I suppose you have indoor plumbing, too.
