gravity and all considered, I'm with you. I don't see how this would be
possible. By the time that the piano was long enough to be a good enough
balance in the curve it would be too darned heavy for one man.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite><font size=1>In the book <b>The
Piano Shop on the Left Bank by T E Carhart,</b> the author describes a
"baby" grand being moved up a flight of stairs and into his
Paris apartment by a piano mover who strapped the piano across his back,
with the curve resting on his shoulder. I'd have dismissed this
passage as the meanderings of a clouded and uninformed mind if the author
wasn't so accurate in virtually every other technical aspect of the
piano. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing? </font> <br><br>
