Hi All,
I just picked up my next project from Paducah Kentucky yesterday.
The early morning started rough when my brakes started smoking after coming to my first stop down a hill. I thought they were going to catch fire! But, it turns out when you get new brakes they have to break in a bit (sorry for the pun). I just never seen them smoke so bad before. This was the first pull with the trailer and I almost cancelled. But, the next stop came and they didn't smoke, so i figured on keeping an eye on them, and it worked out fine. Anyways, the trip was uneventful after that.
I was beginning to regret picking this piano up by myself when as soon as I touched the piano the treble leg just decided to fall to the floor. Oh just great, "One of those moves!" I used the bench, blanket, and a 4x4 as a make shift leg. I decided to recruited a neighbor to help, in case other legs were not attached. Thankfully they were.
Got the piano home safely and inspected the piano this morning. Went to get my rib kit and measure the ribs and felt something sharp in the upper treble. I never seen this before so I thought I would share it with you guys.
Those are all bridge pins that someone hammered all the way through the bridge, the soundboard and sticking out through the bottom.
I guess it's going to be "One of those jobs."
