Stay away, and make them sign a waiver of any liability to you (if you installed it), the truck company, or anyone involved!!!! Using something designed for the opposite of what it's designed for is a risk the owner will have to assume on their own stupidity. Make sure you're not involved in any way!! Good advise! BTW...I don't really think anyone would hear a difference in the sound! Is this just for the player to see the director?? sounds really silly to me!

It is currently sitting on a truck in the front of the sanctuary. There is no room to put it on the stage, so it is sitting in front of the stage on the main floor. Some men in the church are deciding to take the truck and flip it over, so the piano will sit taller. The music minister does not like that idea and has volunteered to build a platform for the piano instead, but others like the idea of flipping the truck, so the piano will gain approx. 8''. Knowing that the trucks are not designed to use upside down, has this been done before, successfully?? Thanks in advance!
