Hi Ron, Think this all through very carefully; you could alarm your customers, and get them worried about your safety in their homes, if you appear at all unsure. My wife is the clinical director of the physical therapy department at the KU Med Center. She says your only hope of carrying tuning tools safely is in a backpack. To the extent that it is possible, you should remove case parts from pianos only while you are seated; have a chair nearby so you can swing the case parts onto the chair without getting up and taking steps.
