---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Dave Check theyre price list Also Dave Hughes, Alias Vintage case parts makes vintage legs. Why of course. $1800.00 un finished for the nice picture frame legs of the 20's Dale The Steinway D at a casino theatre(1200 seats) is moved allot, often 2 shows a day. The ends of the legs, become easily chipped around the bottom just from the torque of the massive bass wheels on it. In fact the screws that hold the wheels through the sides of the bass square leg insert sometimes sheer right off. Resulting in play and chipping. The whole piano end sat 1/4" low yesterday due to another sheered screw.The wheel assembly was twisting under the weight. Legs have become damaged over time. This most recent problem just presented itself, and I leave on vacation in the morning. Would like to send them some quotes/solutions, but can not phone suppliers today. Perhaps someone from the list can help get my thinking in the ballpark here. How much is a set of legs/wheels for a D? They proposed a spare set, so a damaged one can be removed and sent off for repair and finishing while using a spare. Can one purchase just the end leg,(for how much) or is it a set deal always? Someone mentioned a hydraulic lift that rolls under the piano and lifts the frame and inch for moving. Never seen one. Who supplies these(Yamaha was mentioned, but this is now 3rd hand information)and how much are they? Sorry for all the specific questions, but I need answers now, on a Saturday, if that is possible, for I am leaving. This could open up an interesting discussion on heavily used concert pianos, and habits related to care, moving, storage, spare parts on location, spare set of string, cabinet care, on location touch up..............
