Technically it probably won't hurt the truck,?but it's obvious that "some men" do not play the piano, and have no idea of what happens to the pedals, much less the need for a "high chair" for the pianist, when the piano is raised 8" above the floor.?Why don't they want to build a platform, which will not only be better looking, but much safer.

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! ? ?
