Piano inspection

[S. Brady]

Hi everyone,
	I received a query from a Journal reader which I thought I should
throw out for your collective wisdom. Here it is--

	"Does anyone have a system for singlehandedly moving a piano out
from the wall for inspection that:
	1. doesn't involve heavy lifting with the back? (I am a back
surgery survivor, and am hoping not to be a repeat customer).
	2. doesn't require expensive and heavy piano-moving dollies and
jacks? (These would seem to be overkill for just moving the piano a few
feet).
	3. protects carpeting and hardwood floors from damage in the case
of a jammed caster?

	I will be grateful for any suggestions."


	On behalf of the reader and the Journal, thanks!

Steve
