(see photo) The piano is a Boston GP-156 about 3 years old. The complaint was that the notes were in continuous sustain mode. I operated the pedal and heard many little clicking noises. Upon inspection all of the underlever flanges were just about ready to fall out. Every screw in the piano was loose. It was stored in a garage for several months while the client was building their home and out here in Las Vegas it is usually a death sentence in the summer months as it drastically dries out any moisture content that the wood might have and shrinking away from the fasteners.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It looks impossible to get any kind of a tool on the screw head without removing the entire underlever system..... or maybe I'm missing something obvious. Any help will be greatly appreciated. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>David C</FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV></DIV><BR> <DIV class=AOLInlineAttachment id=AOLMsgPart_4_cb3b596e-725c-4135-90bb-10f5cc101f30>[Image Removed] <BR></DIV> <DIV class=AOLPromoFooter> <HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px"> AOL now offers free email to everyone.
