Tilting on the lyre

[DGH9442@AOL.COM]

David:

The Horse IS on the skid board before tilting.  The block under the tail end 
of the board is only to insure that the tail of the piano touches the skid 
board before the key end of the piano.  Mr. Crail (who is a professional 
piano mover) advised that the front bass edge of pianos frequently are 
damaged when that edge comes down on the board first.  The block is removed 
after the piano is on its side and secured.  When the piano is removed from 
the skid board, the tail block is not used.
