K, how ‘bout this. Take a normal tripod piano truck and take off the leg cups. Have the machine shop at the college get a ½ bar stock and attach it at the middle to where the leg cups that came with the truck were removed. Drill for lag bolts and attach the double legs to the bar stock from underneath. Still too dangerous but entertaining!

This is in a college and they (students, yipes!) want to be able to move it around so the individual cups are too dangerous still, I think, especially with those small wheels and carpet in the room. But replacing legs on a piano that is otherwise in such crappy condition is hard to justify. I was hoping for some light bulb to go off but so far the room’s still dark.

I could see a lot of splinters developing at the first threshold. IMMHO, 'twould be better to replace with single legs, then place on spider/truck.
