[pianotech] Tool for plate removal

[Noah Frere]

Great! Seems like the hoist that attaches to the beams would be the most
space saving. My beams are 2" x 7 1/2" and spaced 14 1/2" apart. That looks
pretty strong to me (knowing nothing about it). How much might a plate weigh
- what capacity should I go for? Would 1300# do it?
