It does happen though.

Thanks for sharing, glad I stumbled across your site and it shows that not all movers are experienced with very valuable pianos!

He did the refinishing in the garage and the result was beautiful. The day came when it was ready to be brought back to the living room — a hot day. He put the piano on a “dolly” and together we wheeled it along the asphalt walkway to our front door. He told me to hold the piano upright on the dolly while he put down a board to wheel it up the step to the doorway. What we both neglected to consider was how soft the asphalt was from the heat, and the weight of a piano — the dolly began tilting as the asphalt gave way to the weight — and before either of us could do anything, the newly finished piano went over with a bang – flat on the back in the middle of the yard. I expected to turn and see a million pieces…but we picked it up – got it into the house, and we’re still playing it. Of course, you have played it and know it is not good enough for someone of your caliber – but it works for me. However, when we moved it here, we hired a truckload of huge musclemen to do the job. Dad doesn’t ask me to help him move things any more.
