no.  It's a long story, I'll give you the short version.

    School bought a Baldwin SD-10 new about 12 years ago for their =
stage.  The school put it on 3 little individual piano trucks rather =
than the proper 1-piece unit.  Costs less is better...right???
  A couple of years ago the piano was getting pushed into another room =
and when it hit the threshold, the leg at the end shattered and the =
piano went down.  Fortunately nobody was hurt and the piano damage was =
limited to the leg.  The school had a local high school wood shop copy =
the leg and build a new one.  The copy looks good.  The school put the =
new leg on and the piano was put  right back up on the wrong trucks =
again. =20
    Now the front 2 legs are cracking.  The school called me this time.  =
 My position is to replace all 3 legs with the factory originals and to =
put it on the 1-piece piano truck.  My estimate is pretty high.  The =
reason that I'm looking for the weight is to give them an idea as to =
what kind of damage is potentially there if the piano falls again.  I =
dread the thought of an 1,100 pound concert grand falling on a 98 pound =
college freshman vocal major fresh out of high school.  I've also looked =
at the price of a new piano.  The money saved by doing it the =
hobby-tooner way is a false savings.

  Pierce shows a "D" weighing in at 1078 lbs. Is that close enough? Is =
the piano going into a mobile home?
