David,

The use of the piano horse if done according to the instruction video=20
doesn't involve a dead lift with the skid flat on the floor.   The=20
video shows putting a block of wood under the tail of the skid.   I put=20=

a 4x4 under the skid at the tail end.  It dramatically changes the=20
weight of the piano.  The skid is actually at a slant when the piano is=20=

lowered onto it.  I've had crews do this with concert grands and small=20=

grands while using the piano horse.  Changes the outlook about lifting=20=

a piano on a skid.
