In December we took delivery on two new D's for our new performing arts center. They are tucked away in a special climate controlled room off stage. My boss wants to put them on permanent spider dollies. I think they are UGLY in performance. They will only be moved from their "spa" out on stage. Any suggestions???<BR>

The spider dollies only look ugly when you're up close to them. I think from performance perspective, the audience doesn't even pay attention to what's under the piano. Unless both pianos have heavy duty rubber casters, the piano should be on a spider, as protection for the legs. <BR>
