Piano horse

[Greg Newell]

Avery,
         I think the video did show something like that but I really 
don't remember. When I am moving pianos I do it quite differently 
than most anyone else in my area. I am NOT in a hurry. The money 
isn't nearly as important to me as doing the job right and with no 
one hurt and nothing damaged. That's why I like this thing. Pretty 
hard to screw it up. I once forgot to engage the arm on the opposite 
leg and the piano slid a little bit. Not much but enough to get my 
attention. I was very easy to simply stop and go back up and set the 
arm. The older i get the less dead lifting I seem inclined to do 
anyway so it's an all around winner in my book with the possible 
exception of the price. I wouldn't have put that high a price on it myself.

Best,
Greg
