Broadwood barless grand

Post by vernon »

How do you get the action out!
no screws into blocks. no screws into lockrail -just four wood doweles. It maybe swollen in but has anyone got any tips. It's the first time in 70 years I've been beaten!

Any fool can make a piano-- it needs a tuner to put the music in it

The while since I've worked on one, but if I remember rightly the key blocks are actually stuck to the key bed the whole thing comes out.

The key slip drops down allowing you to remove the keybed

Just solved it. It's unbeleivable.
You have to remove thr front legs¬
the securing countersunk screws are then exposed.Only on this one tho'. I've done several others with normal block bolts..The removal system has now been re-invented!
