You know... >leave the castors on.... whew! > >Guy Nichols, RPT >Kept on Truckin' <grin> I didn't notice the pianodisc legs in the lobby, since I was observing it mainly from three floors above. But I did find a little Yamaha at a resort once perched on a truck still wearing brass roller skates. And one of the arms of the truck wasn't even adjusted to meet the leg. Sort of a stand-up-to-play piano, and veeeeeeery precarious. I hadn't thought of fabric slip-covers. That's an interesting idea. Do you have a company whose truck you prefer, for price or sturdiness or customer service or whatever? Thanks to all who responded.
