So I wanted to know if you could give me the heads up again.    Another piano I encountered yesterday-I went to tune a piano yesterday and found out it was a duoart.  Taking off the top wasn't a problem but to get into the bass area to tune it one would have to remove the player.  It has these thin metal brackets that screw onto the piano which I figured I would remove the screws, but it's connected to what looks like a pipe or hose going into it, kind of reminds me of some of the pars under the hood of a car. the pipe looking thing is gat and come out of the bottom left of this big black part of the player onthe bass side.  so is there a knack for removing this?  Should I jsut refer them to a tech. who works on players?  thanks Marshall Marshall Gisondi Piano Technician Marshall's Piano Service pianotune05@hotmail.com 215-510-9400 <A href="http://www.phillytuner.com/" target=_blank>www.phillytuner.com</A> Graduate of The School of Piano Technology for the Blind <A href="http://www.pianotuningschool.org/" target=_blank>www.pianotuningschool.org</A> Vancouver, WA </body> </html>
