Loose Tuning Pins-Drink Spilled

[Roger Jolly]

Hi Louis,
                Correct, we remove the lid and hinges.  As you roll the 
piano over with the hinges in place, you can damage both the rim and the 
hinges.  Two people can handle the job easily.
The reason for tipping over on to two padded 2 X 4"s, is so you can get 
your fingers under the rim, to make it easy to set back up.
Regards Roger
