[CAUT] piano moving stuff

[Paul T Williams]

I NEVER use the lyre for tilting.  Who does such a horrible thing?  How 
would one combine the two?  I'm trying to visualize  getting the lifting 
of the back end of the grand away for getting a dolly under....  Sure 
would save some backs!!!

looks real good.  any pics of your shop built thing?

Hi Paul,
 
Use the Horse all the time and love it. The only problem may be combining 
the two. It looks like the Grand Chariot 
http://www.premiermovingequipment.com/ may be raised off the ground a bit 
and the Horse is designed to take the piano to the ground. I use something 
similar to the GC that is shop built and it requires more care to use it 
in combination with the Horse. Looks like the GC is designed for those who 
use the lyre for turning.

Hi all 

I hope your time in Anaheim was good for all! 

We have a professor here who is going to be "on the road" with her Yamaha 
C-7 this fall.  she asked me about piano moving stuff and mentioned the 
piano horse (janssen) and something called a "grand chariot"  which looks 
more like a skidboard with wheels. 

Have any of you used these things?  Are they worth the money? (she has a 
grant to buy said items)  Anything better out there? 

Thanks in advance 

Paul
