Absolutely. Our D has been modified to have the large brass casters and it really helped. Our B in the small recital hall is on a dolly and I know it would be better with the other wheels. Several years ago we had complaints from people next to the piano teaching studios that the sound was interfering in the adjacent rooms. We put either full dollies or those 3-wheel caster cups under those pianos and it really did help - decoupling them from the floor. dp David M. Porritt, RPT dporritt at smu.edu From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of CHARLES BECKER Sent: Friday, March 06, 2009 8:26 AM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: [pianotech] Grand piano truck and sound Nice Steinway B in a 200 seat new auditorium in a small college. I asked why the instrument wasn't on a dolly ( it is moved constantly) and the reply had to do with the notion that the truck de-coupled the instrument from the stage floor, thereby diminishing the power and tone. Any thoughts? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://ptg.org/pipermail/pianotech_ptg.org/attachments/20090306/b0efefb1/attachment-0001.html>
