will this piano make it to Hawaii?


Rebuilding this piano may actually have been easier than getting it back to it's owner. It came from Honolulu and is on it's way back. Now if  I was a freight company and someone was arranging shipping a crate containing a grand piano in it wouldn't I assume it might be large, and heavy? Two hours, two trucks, and a forklift later it actually made it onto a truck, which has to take it to LAX where, hopefully it will be loaded onto a plane and air freighted to Hawaii. Then somehow the process has to reversed and it has to get off the plane, onto another truck and taken across Honolulu to a very posh neighborhood, where I am sure a forklift is not readily available. We have our regular movers, all lined up, to get it out of the crate, and hopefully into it's happy home. We all may be saying a few prayers. But we have another piano all lined up to take it's place in the crate and come back to our shop.


Four of us were wearing these OSHA approved safety sandals during this whole process.


Well, we were all just getting ready for the beach! And I was just trying to document all of this.
