[CAUT] Long term grand storage

[Paul T Williams]

Joel,

Roger Gable in Everett WA has a fleet of Yamaha grands he rents out...some 
of them don't go out that often (once a year)  and he stores scores of 
them for customers.  I know some of them have been there for years and he 
is probably the tech who services them once they're back in service.  His 
number is 425-252-5000.

Hope this helps.

Paul

[CAUT] Long term grand storage






All,

Anyone have any experience with any bad results from long term
storage of a grand on it's side??   My situation is a grand that is
new, but has been in storage 2 years and will likely remain there
another 3 or more.

I'm wondering what happens to the felt bushings?
Is there any relief  for the weight of the hammer on the bushings?
Does anyone have any results of damage caused by this length of storage?

Thanks in advance for your experiences.
