Yes, I heard of them today from a customer that I moved a Steinway B for.
He told me of their notoriety and also said they had since went out of
business.

    In the book The Piano Shop on the Left Bank by T E Carhart, the author
describes a "baby" grand being moved up a flight of stairs and into his
Paris apartment by a piano mover who strapped the piano across his back,
with the curve resting on his shoulder.  I'd have dismissed this passage as
the meanderings of a clouded and uninformed mind if the author wasn't so
accurate in virtually every other technical aspect of the piano.  Has anyone
ever heard of such a thing?
