1930’s
Wurlitzer grand. I needed to pull the action, so I removed the =
key slip,
which was attached with four screws. Then I tried to remove the =
blocks
and fall board – but could not find how they were attached to =
the piano.
No screws from underneath the blocks or on the diagonal at the bass =
and treble
ends. The fallboard hinges are only party visible, so I could =
see no
screws there to take out so as to remove the fall first. I =
removed the
small rubber buttons from the tops of the blocks in hopes of finding =
screws
under them – nothing. First time in 15 years that this =
kind of thing has
happened!<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></B></P>
