Hi Terry, Yeah, LaRoy Edwards makes one. I've heard wonderful things about it--not to mention it would be the safe thing to do. This piano is in a church (I haven't been there yet), and hope it's placed in a position where I can work on it easily--although in the past I have told a couple churches they would have to move their pianos to a better position for the work I was to perform. I'm so demanding. :-) Barbara Richmond ----- Original Message ----- From: "Farrell" <mfarrel2 at tampabay.rr.com> To: "Pianotech List" <pianotech at ptg.org> Sent: Friday, July 28, 2006 7:02 PM Subject: Re: Action weight > Eugenia Carter (the lovely - I think of her) used a wonderful folding > table/cart/action-table that was the height of the keybed so you could > just slide the action out of the piano onto the cart - no lifting.
