<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Hi Paul,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Well, actually, I did the
installation this morning. Yesterday I found a camping lounge chair (the
kind without arms--each end folds up or down--could be used as a
cot---Saturday Lounger, Guide Series from Gander Mountain--on sale, too!) that
worked quite nicely. It had the added benefit that it put me higher up
so my short arms weren't extended to the max. I think I may try to make
the legs of the chair a little shorter and it would be the perfect
height to clear a truck and have just the right amount of room between
the piano and me. I must admit, this was the most comfortable
installation I've done--it didn't hurt that the piano was small either.
It was easy for me to slide onto the chair to get under the piano and slide
off again to get out. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Maybe I could even alter this
lounger so it had casters...because </FONT><FONT face=Arial color=#000000
size=2>I have thought about a mechanic's creeper, but wasn't
sure one would be set up high enough to clear the truck. I
suppose a creeper would be nice for pianos that aren't on trucks, if
it had the right casters for whatever flooring is present. My mode of
operation has been to lie on a beach towel or blanket and scoot around if on a
wood floor, and I have a sheet of plastic I scoot around on if I'm on
carpet. Still the distance from the floor to the piano is a challenge
for my short arms.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Anyway, I'm i</FONT><FONT
face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>n the best mood I've ever been in after a DC
installation....and I'm sure my family will put the lounger to good
use.</FONT></DIV>
