Rex,

Thank you for your answer. I looked for those screws already and found nothing. That's why I am so puzzled about it. With other answers through the pianotech page I was made aware of the leg screws, that might protrude into the back of the action. This seems to me a possible answer since I could lift the front of the action and look underneath.

Regards,
Ursula

Also check to be sure that there are no
blocks screwed into the case sides that may be trapping the action brackets or
the hammer rail at the side.

  Hello,

  

  I very much like an answer to a problem, that I encountered today. 

  I wanted to open a Premier Baby Grand 4'9" and I stumbled upon a problem
  removing

  the action. I removed the fall board with cheek blocks attached, and the key
  slip. There were no other screws holding the action in place. I also removed
  part of the trap work since I thought, that the broken 'soft' pedal might
  have something sticking upward to make removing of the action impossible. I
  was able to lift the front of the action up so I could look underneath,
  whether a screw might have been drilled through the key bead and so impeding
  the removal of the action. There was nothing visible. The bass side of the
  action gave way to about 1/8 of an inch, the treble side moved nothing. (The
  sustain pedal shifts from right to left). The action felt like being screwed
  to the back of the piano.

  

  Does anybody have an idea what I might have missed?

  

  Thanks for looking at this.

  

  

  Ursula Hammerling, RPT
