<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I too was amazed to watch a man who I respected and
who assured me that rolling on the lyre was safe split the mount on a Steinway
M. That was about ten years ago and although I intuitively avoided the procedure
prior to that I now have at least one really good reason to NEVER do that. It
may work most of the time but as I professional who is committed to "Do No
Damage" I need a procedure that works all the time. Safety first of
course.</FONT></DIV>

stuff</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I was on the moving crew at the Chicago convention at
which one of the crew was an adamant supporter of moving on the lyre. "Never
had a problem"........................ So he was in charge of the
move of the M&H and we watched while the lyre simply disintegrated under
the weight of the piano. I've done a few lyre moves myself, but
there's a trick i use. A "chinning bar" which screws out to fit into a doorway
can be wedged in between the lyre and the treble leg, thus putting almost all
the stress on the bar rather than the lyre. However, I think the M&H
would still have collapsed. It was a fragile lyre for a very heavy
piano.<BR>les bartlett<BR>houston<BR><BR>Elwood Doss wrote:

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></FONT><O:P></O:P></P></DIV>
