[pianotech] Flippin a Truck

[William Truitt]

HI Todd:

 

Tell them that you spoke with your adviser Mr. Forest Gump, whose words
were, "Stupid is, as Stupid does."

Flipping the truck is, I think, a really bad idea. A platform (very solid I
hope!) is a reasonable approach. Is the minister eager to "compete" with the
pianist for the congregations' attention?
Church politics ... good luck!

Greetings,

 

There is a church with a 7'0'' Baldwin.  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!
