Transporting a Grand Action

[Porritt, David]

Wow David!  I'm one who's really happy not to be working long hours in
people's homes.  My limit was usually a half-day.  Anything more than
that I wanted the action in my shop where I could set up my pinning
tools, in functional and comfortable way.  Hammer filing makes too much
dust for me to do in a customer's home.  In 30 years I never filed
hammers in the home.  

 

Different strokes!

I pull the action out and CAREFULLY swing it around as if you were going
to use the keybed as a work bench.   Then just put you hand around the
stack...using it like a handle with the bottom of the keyframe against
your leg as you walk.   Keep in mind, the work you are talking about
could be done right at the piano saving 2 car trips/travel time!

Hello all,

 

I will be transporting a grand action to my shop for hammer resurfacing
and repinning.  What is the normal procedure for carrying the action
from the piano in the home, out the door to the car?  Do I just carry it
as is, or is there a special and more professional way to handle this.
I'm not anticipating rain, but I guess I should be prepared for that as
well.

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

 

Thanks,

Matthew
