Tilting piano

[Barbara Richmond]

Hey Dave,

Well, I was looking for that Journal article you wrote.  I've used the straps ever since I read it (thank you very much), I just couldn't remember if it included information about this type of dolly.

  You can use a nylon ratchet strap to secure the tilter to the back posts. You'll get a short adreneline rush when it teeters between the casters and the tilter but if the two are joined together, it won't go anywhere. No need to remove the dollies.

  Hi,

  I need to do a little bit of bridge repair on this piano and want to tilt it.  I've never tilted an instrument with this type of dolly.  Do I prop the piano up on some 4x4s (or whatever) first and then tilt?  

  Thanks,
