[pianotech] Bolts for Baldwin grand piano legs

[Terry Beckingham]

Well Greg,

I guess we all have our preferences. I personally don't move pianos, but 
the movers that I have used appreciated that the bolts were back in their 
correct holes and couldn't get lost. I never heard of any damaged hands or 
door jambs, but I can see that there is that possibility.
