Guten Morgen List!

http://finewoodworking.taunton.com/item/14933/rolling-piano-tool-chest#comments

This is a link to a tool chest made from an upright.  Very clever.  I don't 
think you have to be a member to get to this web page.  I'll attach the photos 
here if I can.

Looking forward to the pianotech live event at convention and meeting you all. 
 You've been such an inspiration and a godsend to me.  This list is SO 
valuable!

Oh, and I still don't have a rooming mate for the convention, if anyone still 
hasn't made their plans for a room yet!  I'm about two blocks away at the Days 
Inn (walking distance) and your share would be about $41/night.  Want a male, 
non-smoking, only mildly snoring (if at all) roomer to share.

See many of you soon!

That's all find and dandy but how do you get into it to tune it?...  '-]

I think the strings are in the back (that's what a customer told me the
other day...)

Yea, but did she offer to help you pull it out from the wall 
to get to 'em?

I don't recall, but it's surprising to me how many people think you gotta
move a piano away from a wall to tune it. Occasionally I do have to move it
out a cm or two (to get the top open) but then I leave it there and don't
say anything. I don't recall that I've ever had to move it out again the
next visit.

At least all your tools are right there when something breaks!

I just don't think it's practical.  I don't think my back could take hauling
that thing in and out of somebody's house everytime I do a tuning.
