That's what I do. You could also use some thin double sided tape to hold it in place. Al - High Point, NC On Aug 9, 2012, at 9:41 PM, Joe Goss wrote: One suggestion for those interested. If you have to remove the fall, scribe around the edges of the flat iron before removing. showing the end of the iron so that you will remember which way is correct.

This has probably been discussed to death, but I wonder what went through the engineers' heads when they developed the Baldwin Acrosonic fallboard mechanisms. I know I'm not the only one who has cursed these fricken things. How could anyone with half a brain have thought up the totatlly insane method for attaching a fall board to a piano. I don't think these guys had a clue what was involved in how to put them back on the piano. They must have either been complete idiots, or had a sadistic streak for piano tuners. Maybe one of them had a brother-in-law who was a tuner with whom he didn't get along, or something. I guess by now you have figured out that I am not a happy camper. I just spent 30 minutes putting one of those babies back on a piano. I thought I knew how to do this, but even after 35 years, they are still a mystery to me. Other than the fallboard, they are nice pianos. But maybe I should just say no to Acrosonics. Wim -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
