Hi Bill, Thanks for the picture. I'm in the middle of constructing the same basic thing out of plywood with a cushion or piano blanket type material to protect the piano finish. I'm not sure how a piece of cardboard would secure it when moving it on bumpy surfaces though. That's what we have as it will occasionally move outside to our concert hall or the Jazz in June series the art gallery holds every year. I might have mentioned before, but once outside our music building, there is a slight (2") drop to the regular sidewalk....(poor construction or sidewalk settling over the many years...or whatever). When we moved it out of the building, the piano nearly fell forward and scared the heck out of us! Good thing 3 of us were moving it! It is a nice instrument. Please don't get me wrong. We'll see how it performs next week for the "Firebird" concerto in which it will be a "harp" with the midi helping out. Hopefully, once in our new Digital Arts Professor's studio, it will only get moved once or twice a year. Perhaps, further, other profs will forget we have it and it will continue to be used daily in Dr. Lee's office and never move again! :>) I see a lot of positive things he will be able to do with it!! :>) Although it has a harpsichord option, it will still be easier to move a harpsichord to the orch pit than this. Here's the work in progress. The extended end of it will be to make the ability to strap it to the normal 6' grand moving board. I don't have room to make yet another board. Best, and thanks again for the help. Paul -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
