Piano horse

[Dean May]

Here is a very simple brace you can make out of 1/2" threaded rod and
electrical conduit. One end lodges between the inside of the leg top and
keybed and the other end pushes against the lyre. It makes the lyre really
solid and definitely makes the piano easier to tip on its side and vice
versa.

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.......
