Picking the lock

[Dazzer]

of a grand piano.

anyone got any ideas? (they lock the damn piano where i work so i can't use it)

it'd be good if i could lock it when i'm done too. Does all keys work with all pianos? The one there is a yamaha mini grand.

If you can find another yamaha key, you're in luck.

I'm a technician, and I have about three different keys on hand that will unlock most pianos if I need to.

Usually there are two styles (at least in canada) the kind with no paddle on the end, and the kind with a paddle on the end...

Good luck

(P.S. I can usually pick the locks with a narrow tipped flat head screwdriver too...)

yeh i think finding a key is a best option.

or mold one. it seems simple enough. its not like a very complex key. lol.

I hate it when they do it.  One time I was at a hotel and they had the cover CLAMP-locked shut.        Fortunately Steinway Hall was a couple blocks over.  Might you get in trouble, though? -- usually it's locked for a reason.  Depending on where you work, would they want it played?

If you can borrow the key you can press the impression in to a block of clay and pour yourself another
