A couple of those rigs would have had that statue of Saddam down in jig time. Surround Baghdad with several hundred of them and they'd flatten the city. Wow! Moving a piano with sound. Unbelievable!
The operative words here are "resonance of the room". I was not particularly watching for resonance and was very interested when the room noticeably vibrated, windows rattled. I increased the drive to see what if any thing would happen.
I categorically deny and I will to the death that I had any desire to see the house come down. ( Yeah Rrrightt ernie)
The floor was not level and the piano was on casters and also wood and old. When the floor vibrated, the piano slid to the low corner of the room.
