They also want to spin the pianos around by grabbing the front corner of the lid from the rear and pulling very hard. A (sort of) local kid dumped a studio upright on his foot about five years back doing just that, and I've seen a lot more dumped pianos that didn't happen to squash anyone. The piano was easier to repair than the kid, I'll bet. Bottom line is that the dollies are fine. It's the users that are faulty. There's plenty of grounds for worry. Ron N
