<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow">Despite all the suggestions of using a pedal rod
as a prop, I think it's too dangerous to have the lid propped that high in the
air. I carry a small punch and vise grips and remove the hinge pin so I
can just take the lid off and out of the way. It only takes 10 or 15
seconds. If the hinge pin comes out towards the wall instead of
towards me, I move the piano from the wall, take out the pin, shove the piano
back, and put the pin back in from the front when I'm done. </FONT></DIV>
