Seems to me, although I've never done this, you could remove the leg and set the piano on its side just like movers do but onto a upright piano tipper standing up. Then tip it back over? The keyboard end would be the heaviest side. Probably don't want to do this with a big grand. Why don't you try it and let us know if it works...;-] David I. ----- Original message ---------------------------------------- From: David Vanderhoofven <david@vanderpiano.com> To: <pianotech@ptg.org> Received: Tue, 25 Jan 2005 08:40:27 -0600 Subject: Flipping a grand piano upside down >Greetings! >I am needing to do a rim repair on a grand piano, and am wondering about >flipping the piano upside down.
