Having the piano removed and disposed of for $250 is a bargain. You will not be able to dismantle it as far as you think. You can get it to a point but then the strung back will be more cumbersome to wield than the complete piano. The only reason to dismantle the piano down to the back is that if the bulkhead has been remodeled since the piano was put down there. Leave it to the pros. -- Regards, Jon Page Big time ditto on Jon's post. Taking the case parts off leaves you with 90% of the weight and not much to grab. Reminds me of one of the most bizarre service calls I've had. The guy took the dampers, strings with tuning pins still attached and the plate out of an old nondescript grand piano in order to get it down the stairs to the first floor. He wanted me to reassemble this pile of stuff and was really disappointed with my attitude when I passed on the job. If Phil Bondi was in my area I would have passed his name along! <G> Tom Driscoll -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
