Kewl! I knew about the MIT tradition of donning the dome, but not about the piano. When did they pull that one off?

What about watching this being delivered!

It looks to me like he's pressing down on the end of the case with his foot to lever it up into the truck.

If I was the owner of the piano, I think I'd be contemplating violence....

He's not even using a grand dolly to move it. That's a vertical piano dolly.

But... but... but... the door of the truck says "Piano Specialists". They *must* know what they're doing!

OMG Phykell, that was your piano?!! And it was being unloaded from the truck?

He must've been using his foot on the side to ease it down.

Barbie had a piano, very much like that one. Anyone else remember it? I believe it's in JF's sisters' collection at his family home.
