[pianotech] Upright Dolly Recommendation

[Zeno Wood]

I tried to send it last night, but the photo was too big.  Take 2:

Here's a picture of a Yamaha P2 I recently mounted on the 4009 upright
> dollies, using a tilter.  The front to back measurement by chance was an
> exact match, others I've done had a little more room.  You are correct about
> the fixed dimension of the dolly.  There are vertical screw holes in the
> back to bolt it to the back posts.  If you put the dollies to the extreme
> ends, there's no interference with the player's feet.  It only raises it a
> very little bit, not very noticeable.  The dolly also protrudes a little bit
> in the back of the piano, so the piano can't be pushed all the way back to
> the wall.


ps. - I used a ratchet strap to secure the piano to the tilter.
