RUN AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But... if you can't, just be sure the customer understands that it will
never sound like a modern piano. Take a few extra strip mutes or dish
towels to dampen singing wires, since you normally have to remove the
damper mechanism anyway. Either remove the lid (with help) or lean it
against the wall with a pad. Make sure the angle is steep enough to prevent
it from falling. Use your extension lever. 
Call your massage therapist/chiropractor now.

Charge enough (double).

Remember.... when you're done..... it's still "Play"!

Enjoy,
Guy
