Yesterday I found a camping lounge chair (the kind without arms--each end folds up or down--could be used as a cot---Saturday Lounger, Guide Series from Gander Mountain--on sale, too!) that worked quite nicely. It had the added benefit that it put me higher up so my short arms weren't extended to the max. I think I may try to make the legs of the chair a little shorter and it would be the perfect height to clear a truck and have just the right amount of room between the piano and me. I must admit, this was the most comfortable installation I've done--it didn't hurt that the piano was small either. It was easy for me to slide onto the chair to get under the piano and slide off again to get out. Maybe I could even alter this lounger so it had casters...because I have thought about a mechanic's creeper, but wasn't sure one would be set up high enough to clear the truck. I suppose a creeper would be nice for pianos that aren't on trucks, if it had the right casters for whatever flooring is present. My mode of operation has been to lie on a beach towel or blanket and scoot around if on a wood floor, and I have a sheet of plastic I scoot around on if I'm on carpet. Still the distance from the floor to the piano is a challenge for my short arms. Anyway, I'm in the best mood I've ever been in after a DC installation....and I'm sure my family will put the lounger to good use.

They're pretty cheap, they move around under the piano easily, they have a padded headrest... -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
