I've seen it, I've tried it, and I'm going to buy one .............. when Roger goes to production with it. It's got a few minor glitches to be dealt with but the basic design is a great idea. It's bolts to the underside of the piano in the same holes as the lyre ........ and that's where the glitch is .... the distance between holes and the fastener type. Once it's fastened, the process is safe and easy as ever for MOST grand piano moves. I tried it out at the PNW Conference in Bellevue, WA and purposely stopped in the middle of the tip to see just how much control I had. I could ever so gently lower the piano onto the skid using my body weight alone. Roger weighs about 50 pounds less than I and isn't quite as tall and so if he can use this thing, anyone can. BTW, if ya really gotta know, I'm about 6 foot at 210 pounds. Lar -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
