[CAUT] Leg support blocks- and movers

[johnsond at stolaf.edu]

Hi-

Just wondering if others of you have had problems with your movers
damaging leg and pedal support blocks under concert grands- and how,
maybe, you fixed/resolved the situation. They mixed up the wedge shims,
and forced them to the point that now (over a little time) the blocks are
angled and ripping out.  Unfortunately we must move some of our concert
grands way too much, but still, this could have been prevented with some
care.  I do my best to keep things tight, of course, but simply can not
supervise all the moves. They are a private company and we're in process
of researching a different option, but of course it's my problem to
repair.  The screws are ripped out bad enough that the piano can't be
trusted till something is done.


thanks,
