You'll have to come up with something creative for the bolt, but it seems to me that you only have two viable choices on the moving situation. The first is the stage truck. If there is a wheel anywhere on that piano, you won't keep people from moving it no matter what, so try to minimize the chances for disaster with a good truck. Second option is to go with the Transporter, replace the piano's casters with block spacers so the Transporter HAS to be used to move it, or they'll have to pick it up and carry it. More expensive, but clearly indicates that the piano isn't intended to be moved arbitrarily by anyone who wanders by. There's an option three, involving bolting the piano to the floor, but that's a bit on the cumbersome side. Ron N
