He made an ingenious device, basically a big step that when place on the steps of a stairway, provided him with a larger landing from which to maneuver. He humped the piano up the stairs, somehow using this thing...

In the book The Piano Shop on the Left Bank by T E Carhart, the author describes a "baby" grand being moved up a flight of stairs and into his Paris apartment by a piano mover who strapped the piano across his back, with the curve resting on his shoulder. I'd have dismissed this passage as the meanderings of a clouded and uninformed mind if the author wasn't so accurate in virtually every other technical aspect of the piano. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing? Mark Wisner Yamaha Corporation mwisner@yamaha.com ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
