Piano horse

[Leslie Bartlett]

When I was on moving crew  for National it was decided we had to use the
horse..........  It was a real back saver. However it is another thing to
carry, and if one is moving a lot of pianos it can become a bit of a pain to
lug about.  On the other hand, there's always the chance of dropping a
corner, or, worse breaking a lyre, and yes have watched a lyre break for a
guy who said he'd moved "on the lyre" for something like 15 years.....  It's
getting pricey enough it might almost be as cheap to have something custom
made.......

Greg, 

Doesn't the video show a method of doing something like that? Seems like I
vaguely remember seeing that several years ago. Or maybe it was the board on
blocks just slightly higher than your dolly, then a very slight tilt enables
the blocks to be removed easily with almost no lifting. 

A dealer I do some work for uses one but the movers I always use at the
university have one, but don't use it. To each his own, I guess. :-)

Jon,
        Why should there be a different one? I take it to mean that you are
interested in putting a piano directly onto a 4 wheel dolly either with or
without a grandboard, correct? I've done with without a problem. It's a good
little unit.

all the best,
Greg Newell
