<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Michelle, What Bruce says is true, AMHIK. I have a
scar on the front of my shin, from a P22 that slid down the front of the tipper,
and the back edge of the lid took a chunk out of my shin-bone. No-one
was around to help me put the piano back on it's feet, and I couldn't
wait. A very painful lesson. That piano also landed dead square on
the top of my foot (nothing broken, but I screamed anyway). Clark A.

<DIV> One thing that was mentioned was that the tipper does not work
well with dollies on the piano. If you are installing twin dollies, this
is very true. You can tip the piano back and get the dollies on, but
then you have trouble. Before tipping your Yamaha console back down to
the floor, the back of the dollies will hit the floor. If you are lucky
and strong, you may get the piano to stand up. If not, the piano may
slip off of the tipper, land flat on its back and shove the tipper onto
you. One lady in our chapter broke her ankle when a piano
slipped off of a tipper. <STRONG><U>If you have to do it solo, with a
tipper, strap the piano to the tipper near the bottom and get that strap
tight</U></STRONG>!</DIV>

<DIV>Your best bet is to get some one there on location to help you.
