[pianotech] How do you ladies do it?

[Barbara Richmond]

I grip the top with one hand and with the other, grab (somehow) just below the fallboard (open, of course). Lift up & out. Granted, I'm short, so I don't lift it up much. :-) I think I said something not very lady-like the first time I encountered that design, but I tune a lot of those now.

I usually wonder if a certain 6'3" 215lb Wookie is going to be 
able to lift the stupid thing off. It's an idiot design, and 
if you don't have hands sticky as a tree frog, there aren't 
any handles to grip.
