Hi all.....

YES I did have one scoot out on me.  It slid down the  rails of the =
tilter...I held onto the handles. When the top of the piano hit the feet =
of the tilter I felt like I was going to hit the ceiling!

I had just installed a new set of casters on the old upright.  I figured =
out that what happened was the new casters hit the floor and started =
rolling forward....you can picture the rest.

The real solution is to prevent the casters from turning  when they =
touch the floor...so the piano can't scoot out. A piece of carpet on the =
floor where the casters touch down will do the job, but for real =
insurance I just used a rubber mute inserted  above the caster wheel to =
prevent the caster wheel from turning. I never had another problem.  =
Simple and easy as well as SAFE.  Give it a try.=20
