Robin,

I think from what I am reading, there must be a hidden screw somewhere in the key bed., obviously not readily visible. I will hunt for it. Thanks for your input.

Regards,
Ursula

I have found  on two occasions on a low quality grand
someone has put a longer screw or bolt into the leg after the piano has been
shifted which protrudes up into the keybed. “Premier baby grand”
grand does not sound like a top end piano to me ;-)

  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
