I am rebuilding a 63  year  old  player  piano  and  am  having  trouble
breaking glued joints apart on the pneumatics.  Anyone have any hints on
softening old ground animal glue joints?  The best method I  have  found
from  books on player piano restoration is to break the joint by driving
a thin putty knife between the pieces but the pieces being  removed  are
3/8"  maple  strips 1x6" and they are splitting and breaking rather than
the glue joint!

Thanks in advance,

Cheers, Jim
