I have serviced 356 Wurlitzer pianos to date and find them to be very
reasonable pianos overall, though what you suggest is not an implausible
concept, much like the catapult/trebuchet thing   :-)

Remotely related, the movie, _Joe Versus The Volcano_, had four absolutely
gorgeous premier steamer trunks of dark, wine-colored leather and brass
fittings that were used as life saving flotation devices and were even
touted as such.

                    This is our premier steamer
                    trunk.  All handmade, only the
                    finest materials.  It's even
                    water-tight, tight as a drum.
                    If I had the need and the
                    wherewithal, Mr. Banks, this
                    would be my trunk of choice. I
                    could face the world with a
                    trunk like this by my side.

And to you, Ron, congratulations for contributing the truth of the matter
in its essence.
