[CAUT] colton spider dolly

[dan l tassin]

Oh, and, Ah,  Debra ...

You'll have to take the pianos  OFF  the dollies during a preformance
if you want  "ANY"  good sounds out of the piano.   Especially if you
have
a hardwood floor on the stage.      { duh ?? }

( well, that's what  "some"  think. )      Now,  watch the response on
this one (again).

Susan will tell you her neat trick for getting them on and off the
dollie(s).   
 > > > > >  use blocks ...      Frankly,  I like the  "Jack-in-the-Box" 
much better.
Who was that ??     Oh, it was from some cute girl who use to live in San
Fransico that
once show that to us at a convention.     Are you still out there ??
