Hiya folks,
Art in North Berkeley (cc'd here) is offering a really in-tune full upright
piano. The key action is totally solid (full spring back on every key).
He has a truck to transport the piano in but we need to provide the
muscle. I figure we would need at least 4 strong (and tall doesn't hurt)
people to move this thing.
It's kind of an amazing piano in that is used to be a player piano that was
controlled via a bellows system and air tubes. I view this kind of piano
as being imminently (and very interestingly) hackable in a way that very
few pianos are and I really really think we should bring it into Omni! I
made a short video of this piano here:
http://youtu.be/AaFc4yRctZQ
Demonstrating some of the unusual portals and controls that can be used on
this piano.
Art lives in N. Berkeley closeish to the N. Berkeley Bart so some of us to
help to move this piano by barting then walking to his house.
He would like to try and move this tomorrow or saturday. Also there is a
very large bookshelf (or storage shelf) that we will likely want to grab
for sudo or CCL.

I'm free any time this weekend and can likely get one other person to help
out.
Art, what time works for you? Are Saturday morning or Saturday 1-3 pm good
times for you?

work ok for me but I have 0 muscle. Might as well be a rubber chicken.

Works for me. I'd need to be back by 3 for the DNA barcoding class in CCL.
But it's usually harder to get people for pickup than for drop-off at the
Omni anyway.

I love it! And I will try to be there 2pm saturday -
In case it isn't obvious I also wanted to make sure that no one tries to
use the wheelchair lift to move the piano into the ballroom. Its not rated
for that weight and would probably break it..
If we can get the other piano tuned, at some point one of the pianos should
ideally go into another room - one of the basement rooms might eventually
be best (though getting it down the stairs does not seem fun) as per the
thought / plan of turning one of the offices there into a rehearsal /
recording room, so people can still play even if the ballroom is in use -
Best,
David

Any guesses how much this thing weighs? I've never actually moved a piano,
but the material lift we rented to move our 600+lb biosafety cabinet turned
out to be really useful...
