In the case of the player piano, at the customers home, I gut the piano, take all the player mechanism home _(and piano action, keys, if needed)_, haul it down the basement steps, rebuild it, haul it back up the basement steps, and reinstall it at the customers house. That means I have to have enough of the larger hoses, cut them there and run them to there proper places. In the case of reed/pump organs, I accept the organ via trailer as is, in my garage, gut the organ and haul all the parts down the basement steps, rebuild them, haul it back up the basement steps, bring in the case and put in the space between the kitchen and the living room (great room floor plan), reassemble it, final testing, take it out to the garage then deliver via trailer. AND, in the basement, have all the parts of both player and organ, strung everywhere and try to keep things organized. For picture references, look at my website, in the rebuild areas of the players and organs. http://www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com Duaine -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ Tuning, Servicing & Rebuilding Reed Organ Society Member Florissant, MO 63034 (314) 838-5587 dahechler at att.net www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com -- Home & Business user of Linux - 10 years
