I have dropped a studio piano on its back with no apparent damage(it is mine, I don't move others pianos). I have seen pictures of a Steinway in a destroyed auditorium with part of a roof on top of the piano, damage reported was a cracked lid. Thanks in advance, >> Larry: I had a Yamaha 7.5 foot Grand fall into an auditorium pit-a drop of 5 feet or so- and flip entirely on its lid. The only damage was to the lid-front part- and small amount to the fallboard. I would think that damage from blasting would not really affect the piano in question. It might alter the tuning-but no more than moving a piano across a room would-and you know that is usually minimal. Bob Bergantino,RPT Willoughby Hills, Ohio
