Yup. I even have a couple that are built into the wall, or are 
at least in a recess built specifically for them. I tuned one 
in just such a cave, that didn't even have enough room 
overhead to lift the lid to get inside. They were really put 
out that I pulled the thing out to tune it and, thankfully, 
haven't called me back.

One of my colleges has three P22s pushed treble side in the 
corner, and one with a huge bookcase up against the treble. 
One year, the bookcase was empty, so I moved it about 8" over 
and left it there. I leave the treble corner pianos with about 
that distance between the side and the wall, and have 
explained why to what should have been the appropriate people, 
but I still have to haul them out twice a year.

And no, I'm not interested in learning to tune left handed. 
I'll be busy enough deleting the dozens of posts suggesting that.
