But there have been times when I have lowered pianos on their back as well.</div> <div><br></div> <div>I never deemed doing that those times as unprofessional, and neither did the customers who were involved. It was actually fun!</div> <div><br></div> <div>The circumstances allowed for such a thing, and it was quite enjoyable knowing it is not always necessary to have a tilter.</div> <div><br></div> <div>Of course, certain care and caution must be exercised, and one must be willing to pay the price for any personal or property damage consequences before embarking on tilting piano with or without specific equipment.</div> <div><br></div> <div>Sincerely,</div> <div><br></div> <div>Keith McGavern<br> Registered Piano Technician<br> Oklahoma Chapter 731<br> Piano Technicians Guild</div> <div>USA</div> </body> </html>
