movers regularly turn grands on the lyre without problems. I don't because we
have the Horse and it seems safer to me. Gordon Crail, who invented the
Horse, is a friend and we have a prototype that has been used for years in the
shop and on the road. He suggests, blocking the tail end of the dolly up,
using a person to counter balance the key end, and using a lift
strap. Doing this saves a lot of strain, as about half of the lift
is done. I don't have pics of the skids but the GC is sort of like
what we have. We have fixed wheels in the center and swivel wheels
at each end. </SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
