---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment John, If you're moving pianos by yourself, get a fixed wheel dolly with rubber-topped platforms. If you want any specific information about moving pianos, feel free to contact me. I did it full time for nearly 10 years, and I have no back problems....:-) Aeroquip clip-in rails and straps are a must. Dave Stahl n a message dated 12/31/2005 9:23:22 A.M.

I would love to hear from those of you who move pianos in your business ideas about things/features to look for and to avoid. I will have to custom-order mine in order to get the top-to-bottom clearance high enough to clear larger uprights and grands. Secondary question: What are your favorite moving methods? I like to use a piano sled on top of a 4-wheel dolly. I also have the separate dollies that attach to each end of a vertical piano, and are held on by the straps stretching end to end, but sometimes going over lips and thresholds my "helpers" are too lazy to actually LIFT the dang thing and the lip of the dolly can catch and try to work its way off of the piano. Once this happened and it busted up the bottom of the piano pretty good. Took me DAYS of work to restore that!
