[CAUT] Restricting piano movement

[Porritt, David]

Doug:

Classroom pianos, in particular, will be moved regardless of your "rules".  We decided that any piano in a it-will-move-no-matter-what-we-say we put on stage trucks.  Before that we had legs break.  Now we don't.

Subject: [CAUT] Restricting piano movement

Query: we have a few pianos that need to be able to be moved within classrooms, but we would like to restrict the movement so as not to block other uses of the room or damage screens, etc.

We tried caster cups. As you can imagine, the pianos were off them in short order, I suspect because NO movement was intolerable by some.

Ideas, anyone?

Doug
