On moving pianos

John Goerzen blogs about moving pianos complete with outdoors music. While I don't have a similar story, my dad does. It doesn't involve a pickup (what with that being the standard american car type) but instead a piano which—at an angle—is stuck through the roof of a 2CV. I wasn't there (my parents hadn't even met yet), but I'm told it was great fun.

In the not so distant future, however, I may have another story to tell about moving pianos. Currently, I live right above my office. Due mainly to bureaucratic reasons, this will change in the near future (it's a long story). Now when I moved into the apartment, moving the piano involved several people, a ladderlift, and some extra helping hands from another apartment a few blocks down the road where they just happened to be moving, too, just to lift it 10 cm up and over the window sill. Then, we just tried to avoid dropping it to the floor, about a meter down. Now if me, my three brothers, a friend, and an extra hand were only just enough to lift it for just 10 cm, I'm a bit worried as to how we'll be moving it out again, which would involve moving it up about a meter.

To be continued, I'm sure.
