And yes Geoff from CET is renting the van so I cannot get out of it:-)




I wouldn't start from there, I'd get a man in.

Presumably an upright, which isn't quite so bad.

My ex parents in law inherited a small Bechstein grand, in one of their
moves it had to go into a first floor room in a Victorian Terrace in
Oxford, apparently the movers took out the sashes and jury rigged some
sort of hoist from above, c.f. the systems used in old Amsterdam (and
London) warehouses.
