[CAUT] harpsichord stand casters?

[Jim Busby]

:- )

Paul,

You don’t want to hear this but… Yes we have double doors, huge elevators, etc. etc. It is a very good place for a CAUT!

The Janssen Transport is really a good transport. I actually have two of them. The main problem they have is that they tend to “bend” under the load of a D or other 9’ piano. The jacks are not very good either, and I’ve had to replace them. I opted for the heftier ones, and that was a good thing.

Oh, boo! I needed that as a part of the plan! I still don't want to spend $1,100!!  I may end up doing so, but it would take a lot of moving stuff around to pay for itself.  Thank God for Moving Services at UNL!!  They're so cheap...much less than normal mover charges.  Oh well.....back to the norm.
BTW: Does BYU have double wide doors everywhere and a huge elevator?  No steps from the north end of the building to the south?We have this horrible 3 step thing on first floor and the basement (where I am) which really restricts how we move stuffs!  It really sucks!  I want to find out the architechs that designed this building and personally strangle them!...then again.  theyre all gone by now anyway....  Nebraska is stinking flat!  Why do this?  I'll never get over this.  We have to move pianos from one end of building to the other by either setting up a ramp, or pushing them outside.  Arrrrgh!  Fortunately, it's only 4-5 times/year

It stores under the piano, wherever the piano is stored. We have piano garages. No collapsing. It is what it is. Cheaper than the Janssen, but without collapsibility, nor the “adjust to size” capability.

Paul,

Not real pretty pics, but here’s a sample. Way different that the Janssen. 20 ton jacks (overkill)

Best,
Jim




Jim,

Could we please get a picture of this? I may see if our shop people here could make me something like this.

Thanks
Paul
