With the help of two younger backs... We moved five pianos: one Yamaha console involving travel of 70 miles, one Yamaha P-22, then travel of another 40 miles to get back to my town, in a church one Cable studio down two flights of stairs and down a hall to a class room, one new Boston studio back up those same two flights to be put into its new home in the choir room, deliver my garden tiller to the shop, then picked up my mother-in-law's gift of her old lawn tractor and took to my shop (18 miles), then travelled an 85-mile round trip to move a Kimball grand from one home in the middle of nowhere to another home in the middle of nowhere. Now I am home, thankful, safe, and glad for younger backs!

Did some plumbing last weekend and retrieved the thermostat from old electrical geyser. Wired this into my hot hide glue setup. No more manual switching and watching the candy thermometer.

Tuned in a church today that had a Hammond B3 and 2 Leslies that looked as if it had just came from the showroom floor. Its an Apostolic (fundamentalist) church and the Leslies were turned up all the way to 11.

Hi Phil,
regarding the need for younger backs, have you or anybody else seen these piano stair climber robots in action?
There is a piano rental company in Helsinki, Finland, using one of these for transports. Amazing engineering, to say the least.

My path often crosses with piano moving crews. They have machines like this one that they rarely get to use.
They have a tendency to chew up carpeted stairways and even on stone staircases it's not worth the risk of expensive damage. Many buildings here are listed.
