As I recall, after taking off all the case parts that will come off, the keys have to come out. I think there are hooks on the tops of the lifters that can lift up and turn 90 degrees to allow the keys to be lifted out. The lifters might then be lowered through the key bed or they need to be individually removed from the action. After all of that the key bed can be removed allowing access to the action. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Good luck!</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>will wickham</DIV><BR><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><BLOCKQUOTE dir="ltr" style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"><DIV></DIV><FONT id="role_document" face="Arial" color="#000000" size="2"> <DIV>Has anyone out there ever successfully taken the action out of a Minipiano?
