only 1 of these pianos and I made the mistake to try and tune it . Big mistake,
next to impossible to mute the high treble. I also couldn't get my tuning hammer
on the pins in the last octave. I never work on one again.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I have, although it's been a while. 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>Good luck!</DIV>
