Remove the two large screws holding these columns to the cabinet, and set the columns aside. The next part to remove is what I like to call the "sill". This is the horizontal board just above the fallboard (the piece that covers the keys when the piano isn't in use). This will also often be secured with a large screw on each end. Remove the screws and remove the sill.
