Well you could consider better castors on the piano...rubber double wheel thingys...maybe pump that baby up with some big castors and raise the bench?...;-] Wall damage is definitely a possiblity with those heavy duty dollys, but think how well protected the piano is... People CAN trip over the back extensions...I've taped mine with white tape to get attention...

Ken, you like the less expensive 4009 lighter weight dollies with the 2 1/2" casters just fine and David likes the 4003, heavy duty dollies with the 5" casters. Have either of you had to make any drywall repairs from walls that have been damaged by pushing the piano too quickly towards a wall? I see that as a definite concern. Also, I had this piano here with the heavy duty dollies down in a room for where we teach teaching music to very young children. The professor didn't like it because of concern the children would be injured on the dollies and the piano sat out in the hallway 90% of the time. She wanted something easily portable, but wouldn't use the piano with these dollies. She eventually told me just come get the piano and forget it. If that's all there is, that's what we will go with. But I wanted to be sure there wasn't anything better before I order them. Thanks again for your help guys.
