<< Hi Folks
 I want my husband, John,  to move one of our pianos into the livingroom for
 the kids to use but the logistics are difficult.  We live on a mountain and
 our lot is quite steep.  Because of this our front door enters at the
 basement level of our two floor home.  Once inside there is a fairly narrow
 stairwell with a 90 degree turn in the middle of it to take you to the main
 floor.  No way will the piano negotiate that turn.  On the main floor though
 there is a large deck with french doors into the livingroom which would seem
 to be the best way to get the piano into the room.  The question of course
 is how do we get the thing up onto the deck.  We have a friend with a truck
 that has a hook and lifting arm who is willing to try but we need to know
 the best way to rig the piano up so that it is not damaged in the process.
 I often read over John's shoulder and know that you guys will know the
 answer to this!
 In anticipation,
 Helen Pengelly
 
 
 I strongly encourage to have it done professionally.  These fellows are 
bonded and insured, and will do the job right.
