I suspect the customer is having difficulty opening the top. Just pull hard enough and it will open. The clips that hold the top down are probably rusted. </div> <div style="CLEAR: both"> <div> </div> <div>Willem </div> </div> <br> <br> <div style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">-----Original Message-----<br> From: Marshall Gisondi <pianotune05@hotmail.com><br> To: pianotech <pianotech@ptg.org><br> Sent: Tue, Jun 12, 2012 11:43 am<br> Subject: [pianotech] question about keys to unlock lid of piano<br> <br> <div id=AOLMsgPart_1_b4d522bd-a383-4b86-a1e7-f8e389372dc7> <STYLE>#AOLMsgPart_1_b4d522bd-a383-4b86-a1e7-f8e389372dc7 td{color: black;} #AOLMsgPart_1_b4d522bd-a383-4b86-a1e7-f8e389372dc7 .hmmessage P { margin:0px; padding:0px } #AOLMsgPart_1_b4d522bd-a383-4b86-a1e7-f8e389372dc7 body.hmmessage { font-size: 10pt; font-family:Tahoma } </STYLE> <div dir=ltr><FONT size=3 face=Arial>Hi Everyone,</FONT><br> <FONT size=3 face=Arial>I received a call today from a guy who has a Kimball piano. He didn't know if it was a spinet or console.  He bought it used.  He said the key cover is open but he doesn't have a key to unlock the lid so that I can get in to tune it.  so my question is, what kind of key does a Kimball use. Woud a Yamaha key work?  If there is a different kind of key, how woudl I obtain one and what kind of key will open a Kimball?  thanks</FONT><br> <FONT size=3 face=Arial>Marshall</FONT><br> <FONT size=3 face=Arial>MARSHALL'S PIANO SERVICE</FONT><br> <FONT size=3 face=Arial>215-510-9400</FONT><br> <FONT size=3 face=Arial><A href="http://www.phillytuner.com/" target=_blank>http://www.phillytuner.com</A> </FONT><br> </div> </div> </div> </font>
