Julia Look at the twin dollies on page 14 of the Schaff catalogue.?These dollies?extend only two inches from the back of the piano. I can't imagine that they would get in the way of a wheel chair, unless someone wheels themselves right up next to the back of the piano. You?can even remove the front legs of a piano, so they won't get in the way of a wheel chair. These dollies also?makes it almost impossible to tip the piano over. ?

It seems that the nursing homes really are hard on piano legs. They get bumped into by seniors in wheel chairs.?Our city codes dept has an ordinance about piano trucks being forbidden because of people tripping and banging their ankles?on the protruding members of the trucks. Are there any good solutions to keeping pianos' legs in tact when you cant use a truck?? ? Julia Gottshall Reading, PA A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
