I see that I failed to mention that I have rhuemetoid arthritis in my spine and knees. That’s the reason I fear moving my concert grand sometimes, that putting pressure on my joints may make it worse.
However, this past school year (04-05) I’ve had so many rehearsals/performances, etc. for which I need to bring my CG, I’m actually getting a lot better at moving it. It used to take me a good half hour to get the 4-peice cover on, and now it only takes about 5 minutes.
Now, my new harp-bound-saga is the wheather and all the darn strings that break. So expensive to maintain a harp…
