Thread: Grand piano restoration

thats the worst bit...Timaru HAS a collection area and shop.....someones kids may have been nagging to learn and a not quite right oldie may have just lit the fire....
lovely restoration job.
I remember shifting a grand piano one afternoon in one hell of a hail storm...I had just hours before found out mate had drowned in lake tekapo so it was a hell of a day....we had piano strapped onto trolley and truck backed up close to door with ramp across gap...we made run for it and scooted across with big hail stones pelting us as we went...couldnt move truck for half hour as wouldnt move on marble sized hail....funny the things you remember.
another time unloading normal piano in snow this time in Tekapo...mate on back,me on front,she came out of truck on trolley and took off down ramp,both of us skidding and sliding but no way was it getting away on us....5 yards down street we stopped her and continued in more controlled manner.
