Prepping the Piano for the Tuner - slightly OT

Sid,
I stand on my head to avoid tuning left handed.<G>
Well not exactly, my head is to the left leasning over with my right elbow
at about 10 o'clock and Ball end at 12 o'clock to 1 o'clock.
Not very comfy but works for the last octave or so.
The one that gets me is the upright piano that opens like a grand and the
hinge pin is a foot long and can only be removed from the back of the piano
requiring one to pull the piano out from the wall to remove the pin so that
the piano can be tuned. Phew. Is that a long rant. <G>
