<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes, Terry, you're right. Always remove =

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I thought of two other things Mark. =
If the
fallboard simply lifts out (most do), I always remove the fallboard - =
it
allows easy access to the action for debris removal and it prevents =
you from
slamming the fallboard shut accidentally with your tuning arm =
(repeatedly!).
And I always move the bench around to the treble side of the piano (I =
straddle
the front treble piano leg) to tune the high treble =
section.</FONT></DIV>
