Like I said... we 'See' that damage to the corners... we don't create it. ;^) The thick high-density styrofoam blocks that come under some pianos are handy as safety blocks for .... all kinds of applications. A rolled-up blanket works well, too. We may have to start a thread about "amatuer piano movers horror stories", and the damage we've seen. Got a nice J&C Fischer in the back that came off of someones' pick-up truck. Sturdy piano. Nobody was hurt. Our chapter shows the Laurel and Hardy film "The Music Box" every few years, as a nice break. THAT.... was a move! Regards, Guy
