I have a new T-118 in my inventory. As those of you familiar with that model will know, it has a front panel/fallboard assembly that is attached together, and has to be removed as one unit, unlike the designs for P-22 and U-1. The panel has to be leaned forward slightly and then raised vertically, with nothing to grab onto. I added a little piece of wood, 1/2 x 1/2 x 4", with two screws, to the middle of the back of the panel. It helps immensely.

Why can't they all just put something simple like that in their pianos....  Not a question...  Good idea Fred. I like how Kawai places their metal brackets inside on the back panels.  Easy to use as a handle in a similar manner.
