Piano Forte

Picture This Bosendorfer (Upside Down)

Englishman Brian Haigh moves grand pianos for a living. But he and two colleagues managed to drop a £26,000 Bosendorfer grand piano - which the organisers of the Two Moors Festival had spent two years saving up to buy. "In all my life I have never felt the way that I felt when it hit the ground," he said. "I have moved countless numbers of pianos over the years, but this is the first time that this has ever happened. I was pretty upset and it hit me again this morning when someone opened up a paper while I was on the Underground and recognised me from the photographs." To see photographs of the incident, go to Ben Quinn's report at Telegraph.co.uk.
