I saw the 'piano horse' in action in Arlington. Very impressive.

In talking with the inventor, the present model only drops the piano onto a 
skid board,
then it has to be up-ended to get a dolly underneath. so you'd still need 
help, I rather
just have the help to drop the side onto a dolly and lift it up. It's about 
the same amount
of strain. 8-|

I mentioned that a model which dropped the piano directly onto a dolly 
would interest me,
he said that he's working on that idea.
