Gene This sounds like a prank. Who was moving this piano? Where are the movers? But if it is for real, and the customer is really panicked, I would reschedule my first two customers on Monday morning. But don't try to do this yourself, and I wouldn't use any mechanical tools. Call the local labor pool and hire five or six strong backs to help you pick up the piano.

Piano fell off of a dolly and is lying upside down and wants me to get involved to right it. It is a 9' concert grand. Will not be able to see it till late tomorrow or Tuesday. I have a portable engine puller and an overhead winch/snatch block mounted on a trailer than is probably usable and it sounds like there is good clearance around the piano for access. Have plenty of straps, blankets and pads. Anyone care to share experience or give advice would be appreicated. Gene -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
