Lid hitting keys?

Hello,

I have a beautiful Wurli 214a. The lid hits the back of the black keys and it is really annoying. I can push the lid back and it behaves for a few hours, but eventually it goes back to hitting the keys. Have any of you folks experienced this and do you have any suggestions to remedy it?

Thx!

Take the lid off and raise the two music rack bolts. You may have to loosen the nut that locks them in place first. This will lift the lid in the middle, pulling the edge of the lid backwards. Retighten the nut once set. You don't need much adjustment here.

Awesome. Spot on. Happy times. Thank you.
