Hoisting ?????

[WAYNE WALKER]

I don’t think I would take the responsibility to do this lift. Hire
someone experience. Maybe a concert or theatre production company that
uses rigging all of the time for lighting and speakers. They could
install a 2 ton electric chain lift and have the proper means to attach
it to a beam. This way you are not liable. My 2 cents worth.

Paul,
        Well, the original poster was me and I am still enjoying the
information being presented here. It is so far, for the most part, very
helpful. There have only been a couple posts where feathers were ruffled
and that doesn't seem strange at all considering the checkered past of
this list. If you don't mind I'm still keenly interested in what people
have to say on the subject.  Thanks for your opinion about deferring to
someone else for the job. It's been addressed before but as I responded
last time I am willing and excited by the challenge. Thanks for your
post.


best,
Greg Newell

That would be my take...

I've long since lost track of who posted the original note on this
thread, but let me just say that, while I am reasonably certain there
may well be piano technicians "out there" who could effectively and
safely solve this problem, if I was given the responsibility of getting
the piano to the balcony/loft, I would defer to someone who does that
sort of thing as a matter of routine. 

We read stories like this in the paper from time to time... the
humongous safe that MUST be placed in/retrieved from the third story
inner sanctum... and it ain't piano technicians that get asked to do the
work... and it ain't farmers and it ain't gals and guys who build
garages for a livin' either... 

While it's great to ask advice on this forum, I think it's ludicrous
that it develops into sniping and bickering and tons of sometimes
uninformed suggestions

I think we've killed a couple of healthy horses out of the herd as
well...
