Hi Mark -

No, I haven't heard of that, and when reading that book I remember
questioning just what kind of brute would be capable of such a feat. 
However, I DID find the book itself overall a rather enjoyable read.  Not
that often a piano shop is the backdrop for a novel, eh?

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?
