Welcome to Moondog Manufacturing
Set-up or tear down any size grand piano single-handedly by attaching the tilter to the existing lyre attachment points – single or two point style.
The Moondog Grand Piano Tilter utilizes the Asian two-point lyre attachment system, plus the traditional single-point Steinway system (which utilizes the traditional interlocking plate style, the new boss-style of post-2007 New York Steinway and the European boss-style used by Steinway and other European manufactures). The Moondog Grand Piano Tilter connects firmly to the keybed, enabling the user to easily tilt the piano from or onto the skidboard without fear of “tilter dislodge”.
In addition to the ease of use and firm attachment to the grand piano, the Moondog Grand Piano Tilter enables the user to attach or remove the bass leg without the assistance of a second person.
