FWIW: Another thought might be to do some historical research on Ludwig Von Beethoven. My wife has numerous biographies of him and it seems he moved about 25 times in his last twenty years of life. I guess the cranky old guy kept getting thrown out of his second-floor apartments. You know, the same second floor apartments that he would have his large grand pianos moved into each time he moved. No doubt some of the times the stairs would not cut it. I'm sure some inventive techniques were used that perhaps might suggest a good method for you. Of course Beethoven's pianos were not quite as heavy without a large cast-iron plate in them, but the ideas might still apply. Google? Terry Farrell ----- Original Message ----- A piano store had pianos on the second floor and built a ramp. The piano was placed on a dolly that was connected to a winch. Dolly and piano was winched up the ramp to the second floor. It worked very well. Bob Maret, RPT Piano Technician -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
