[pianotech] How NOT to move a grand piano

[William Truitt]

I accept your premise about the two feet in the truck, judging from the
pictures.  Even if it did "just clip", that still begs the question - Why
wasn't somebody watching? And why didn't they spin it sideways on the gate,
as virtually everyone has suggested?  To borrow a phrase from Forrest Gump,
"Stupid is, as stupid does."

If he doesn't understand why it happened, I definitely wouldn't hire them
for the next move, bad luck or no.  But judging from the worldwide
publicity, they are probably getting fewer calls anyway.

Here it is, I found it.

He said: "As we lowered the tail lift, it must have just 
clipped what we call the shoey and sent it over to one side. I 
don't understand why it happened."

Clipped, right? Not two feet of it still in the truck.
