Keyboard disassembly on Morino 1

[HiTechBiniou]

Hi,
I have a piano accordion Morino 1 sometimes referred to as Morino 2 +1 because of two switches on right hand and one switch on left hand.
Can someone tell me how to disassemble the keyboard?
It has only one rod.
When I pull the rod, the keys get loose but I can not take them out of the accordion.  Something is preventing the keys to be completely removed from the accordion.
What can that be?

HiTechBiniou,
I thought I was faced with the same problem with my Morino 2+1 and looked for advice on this forum some time ago. The thread was titled 'Morino 1 palettes' and may be of some interest to you.

HiTechBiniou,

Thanks,
I went to the thread titled Morino 1 palettes and found it very interesting especially the brass rod that I didn't see that might attach the L palettes.
But I still don't know how to dismantle the keyboard?
Did you try pulling on that small brass rod and see if the keyboard dismantle?
BTW nice tune and nice sound you have on your Morino.  Mine is not in that shape, I will need to do some work on it like tighten the loose keys that move all over the place!
Thanks

When I spotted the small brass rod on the end of the keyboard that appears to serve the L palettes I made enquiries with local repair men. I got warned that dismantling would involve 
accessibility problems in re-fitting the separate springs which serve the L pallets. When I can't see a way back from a situation I tend to leave it.
You say you can loosen the main brass rod serving the 'normal' treble keys but the keys won't come out. Have you partially  or completely loosened/removed the brass rod?
You don't mention having removed the cover on the back of the keyboard. Have you done this ?
Frustratingly there's one extremely experienced and respected repair man about forty miles away from me who will definitely understand the procedures for the 2 + 1.  The 3-row
diatonic Shand Morino accordion is constructed the same way and they are/were extremely popular in this neck of the woods. (U.K./Scotland).  The repair man is in his nineties and is not 
'on-line' so far as I know.

Hey thanks.

Now I know the keys wont get out because of the Bassoon on the rear of the keyboard.

Today, I will investigate further and remove the back pannel so I can see what is preventing the keys to come out completely.  I probably need to disengage something in the back for the keys to come out completely.

Will keep you posted on the situation.

HiTechBiniou:
I wondered if you had made any progress in the dismantling of your 2+1 Morino keyboard.
