Friends, I tried to send this email twice before, but it never made it to the list. I'm wondering if the word I normally use for a piano truck was why it was blocked (the same word for a human-shaped toy little girls often play with). Anyone know if that is a blocked word for some reason? Anyway, to my questions. I am helping a local school with specs for new pianos. The music supervisor wants Yamaha pianos, and inquired about a piano truck for one of the new Yamaha P22s which will be moved around somewhat. I've heard stories of kids accidentally tipping pianos on piano trucks while moving them. I also had a local teacher catch her foot on one of the protruding parts. She was on crutches for months. So I also see them as a liability risk. Do you find that a piano truck is necessary, or even advisable, for a studio piano such as a P22? If the supervisor really wants a piano truck, which kind would you consider the best for this application (model numbers from the current Schaff or Pianotek catalogues, which are what I have here)?
