Jim, I had one of those in my shop in NY. The nose on mine was a little wider. It was very popular with the NY rebuilders. I would always have the "in work" piano on there, so it didn't get in my way. When my mover came to pick up the finished piano, he would load up the next in line. If I had to get one on there myself, I would use my hoist to set the piano on the piano truck. I liked it because I used to do my own refinishing and had the legs and lyre off for refinishing.
