This is how we=92ve always moved grands.  Right from the dolly down to =
the
floor, with the two legs and lyre.  The B=F6sendorfer Imperial is the =
only
piano we never have trusted solely on the lyre, because of it=92s =
extreme
weight.  In this case, we use a dummy leg instead of the lyre.  We also
tip right up onto the dolly.  We did this in the CRW factory when
picking up a piano, and they had never seen this method before.  I just
always figured everyone did it this way.  25 years, and have never
dropped one  *knock knock knock*

 (not 25 years for ME mind you)

The number "410" is probably the Steinway C&A department number. I'd
guess it was either a rental or was purchased from them and they didn't
remove the C&A number and give it it's "real" serial number, which I've
seen happen before. That number would probably have been stamped on the
front of the key frame if no where else.

That method of putting the legs on is the one they use in the factory
and the Hall as well as elsewhere. The lyre should hold the weight OK,
though it's not my preferred method of doing it. I wouldn't try it on
pianos other than Steinway either.

Did you get to see the concert? Neil Young is pretty cool.=20

Hi Folks

Got the call to do the Neil Young concert in town tonite. Showed up for
the gig and here they have this NY S&S D with the number 410 where the
serial number usually is. Didnt look all that old really, tho with all
the gadgets attached... Helpenstills, Seducers, Barcas Barries... :)
they had 4 or 5 different mic setups and in addition they had real
mics.... I didnt get to really look all that close.

I got to see something I'd never seen before. They rolled this thing on
stage in a flight case on its long side. Stuck the back leg on, the
right leg, and the lyre, and then tilted it right out of the case onto
the lyre and back leg before tilting it over and lifting up the left
side to get that leg on. Worked like a charm, but I'd thought the lyre
would have never held up. They carry this thing all around the world
with them.

Anyways... in and out in 50 minutes with stage hands around didnt leave
much time for inspection, but I was curious as to what the number 410
stood for.
