[CAUT] piano moving stuff

[Cy Shuster]

MessageMy problem with mover's claims like these is that they rarely see the same piano again.  How do they know if the lyre is loose the next winter when the heat's on?  Or the winter after that?  The conditions seem perfect to break one or more glue joints.

A temporary diagonal brace is an excellent solution.

  List,

   

  In very small practice rooms sometimes moving on the lyre is the only way. The main problem with this practice is the loosening of lyre wedges, etc. and so you must always check the integrity of the lyre. One of the best movers in Utah always uses the lyre and claims 40 years of "no problems". I have a horse. Love it, sometimes.
