I want to pull the action, but it was designed in a way I have yet to see.</DIV> <DIV>Bolted to the plate-no struts, and these long flat metal pieces that are screwed into the wooden platform under the action.</DIV> <DIV>Anything I should be aware of other than the usual stuff? Also , will the pianotek sticker holder work on this model?</DIV> <DIV>Thanks,</DIV> <DIV>RU/UP</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
