But the reason the lyre is too close = to the floor is because the truck's arms are bending, which lowers the whole pi= ano. This is easy to spot, with the middle of the truck, the center of the three arms, is probably up quite a bit, and the leg plates are almost to the floor= . This is most likely cause by having a truck that is not the right size for t= he piano. There is not enough sleeve in each of tthe arms to make it stabl= e. The only solution is to put the piano on a bigger truck. If there is enough sleeve in each arm, then you need to take the weight of the truck, and tight= en all the bolts. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Wim </DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
