Jeff,

I wasn't down-playing (no-pun-intended)...  :p   the feat of your
accomplishment, just
trying to see "how-the-heck" you got one of those tall babies in there...
:)

I've moved a spinet up and down stairs myself.  No small task.   I was beat
at the
end of that day from moving a bunch of crap (piano & a spinet sized organ as
well).
Remembering one of my helping brothers commenting that "I couldn't have
played
the piccolo...).     :)

Steven
