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.......</DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left>les bartlett</DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left> </DIV> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader lang=en-us dir=ltr align=left> <HR tabIndex=-1> From: pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org] On Behalf Of Avery Sent: Monday, December 18, 2006 5:55 AM To: Pianotech List Subject: Re: Piano horse </DIV> <DIV></DIV>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. :-) Avery Todd At 10:29 PM 12/17/2006, you wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE class=cite cite="" type="cite">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 At 10:48 PM 12/17/2006, you wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE class=cite cite="" type="cite">I'd be interested if they  had one which placed it on a dolly instead of a board. -- Regards, Jon Page</BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE> -- No virus found in this incoming message.
