[CAUT] pushing pianos

Momentum is a dangerous thing.
No joke!  In one situation we have two Yamaha grands (not on stage dollies, but on their own smooth-rolling casters) on a diamond polished concrete floor.  If you blow on them, they will roll across the room.

Momentum is a dangerous thing. Slow and easy is the order of theday. It’s not a box it’s a musical instrument.

In a few days, I will be moving apiano on a stage dolly a long distance with a group of high school pianostudents.  We are not turning it on its side on a skid board, but simplypushing it.  What collective wisdom should I be to impart to theseimpressionable youths about how the do-s and don't-s of pushing around pianos? 

 

Thanks,
