Picking the lock
on: September 03, 2005, 03:20:52 PM
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...)

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
