Everett Pianos

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi All, My position is that moving the piano after it has been tuned is not
a good thing to do. While time consuming, replacing the allen heads with
bolts allows the removal and replacement of the lid whith out moving the
piano and with a tool that is used for many other uses.
 I also encourage my clients to heep the piano at least 3 to 4 inches away
from the wall so that the sound can breathe, sort of a voicing issue.
