Frozen Gulbransen, anyone?
By Douglas K. Rhodes

The suggestion about putting the Gulbransen stack into a freezer overnight and then jumping on it (or smacking it in just the right spot) may not be so far-fetched. I have a friend who quite successfully dismantled a Duo-Art expression box with precisely that method, as per instructions in an old AMICA Technicalities bulletin. The old hide glue gets pretty brittle at around zero degrees Fahrenheit. If the piano plate is cracked, and Gulbransens have such an ornery reputation anyway, what have you got to lose?

Cheers
