---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Alan, if you are doing this job in a customers home then be on your guard. Its not just the piano you have to be carefull about, but the floor, walls, anything laying around. More then one tech has gotten into hot water by scraping up a customer "select hardwood" flooring if you get my meaning. In anycase, a couple thick East Algorthian hand woven wool throw rugs of appropriate size should be advisable. And an extra and experienced hand in laying the piano down. Also, remember you are going to have to lift the thing up again... grin... so use a few thick felt wedges under the top back to leave yourself some finger space. Cheers RicB "Alan R.
