Hi Rob,

It looks like an elongated quarter of a circle and functions on the cam 
action of that design. Solidly built from 1" square steel stock, it has an 
adjustable arm that snugs against the right leg. Remove the left leg, the 
lyre can stay on and once the weight of the piano is picked up by the cam 
part of the horse which is basically immediately the piano pretty much 
weights about 75 to 100 pounds at that point.  Jansen sends a short how to 
video with each one.

I use one all the time with our rental piano and have sold several to our 
competitors. 

Considering the cost it will save you in tweaked backs over your life in the 
piano trade this thing is dirt cheap.

I'll be giving a hands on demo at the NEECSO convention in CT. Desclaimer - I 
don't receive anything from Jansens for this except free catalogs to hand 
out, nor do I work for Jansens. Just showing how to use an excellent tool.

Oh yeah, the name of my mini technical is "Piano Horse Round-up" , Nudi 
clothing optional :)
