I think the wedge will have to be constructed. Even if I put downwards,(towards the far end of the piano) there would still only be two feet and a little bit on the board with a different angle and no 90 degree place to put any strap on it. Perhaps I should design and patent it and make some bucks!??!! I'm also wondering why Yamaha didn't think of this when designing it. I realize this piano wasn't really designed for institutional use, but perhaps it should have been thought out better. I certainly wouldn't put it on a moving board and into a truck to go to our East Campus without some sort of better support. It would certainly have dire consequences. I sure wish I could have seen them uncrate it at the Yamaha store when it arrived! It didn't even come with a bench! :>( Best, Paul From: "Brad Smith, RPT" <pianotech at smithpiano.com> To: caut at ptg.org Date: 10/01/2010 02:06 PM Subject: Re: [CAUT] Yamaha Avant Grand Digital questions Hi Paul, I see....assume that you've already tried using the angled case side down onto the board ? From the pictures I've seen, it looks like that angled side of the case, if put downwards, would allow the weight to be centered enough to be stable on a board / dolly. I do recall moving a Roland digital grand like that. Same idea for a Sohmer butterfly grand. If not....then your original 'wedge' idea might have to be the solution. -- Brad Smith www.SmithPiano.com On Fri, Oct 1, 2010 at 10:57 AM, Paul T Williams < pwilliams4 at unlnotes.unl.edu> wrote: I have moving 6' moving boards and dollies already. It's the shortness of the Avant and only 2' of it lies flat on the board that is the problem. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
