[pianotech] Tilting w/o a Tilter

[tnrwim at aol.com]

I used to be able to pick up the side of almost any size upright. I've also laid pianos on their back, making sure there are a couple of books under the back. But not anymore. At my age, my back is no longer strong enough to do that. I have a tilter, but I have also used a two wheeled hand truck to lay the piano on its back.

Dean,
You're probably correct.
omehow I decide to do it the way I did.
ight years ago, who knows the mindset I had at that particular moment.
I am prone to experiment from time to time,
  and sometimes against the better judgement of others and myself.
