Cant open piano lid
Post by Beckypiano »
Hi - I'm due to have my old upright piano tuned in a few weeks and have forgotten (!) how to open the top lid. I feel really stupid - can anyone advise? I've tried everything I can think of but if feels stuck. I dont remember it being screwed down, but rather, pressing something in the right place to help it click open. Could it be jammed? Any ideas? Thanks so much.

Your piano tuner will open the lid to tune it.
What makes, is it?

Its an old Scheidmayer piano (1870s).
Hoping the piano tuner can find a way in :)

On some there is a button on the front panel that would push it is just underneath the lid, on others you just push the panel and then lift the lid
