<html> <body> Dennis, I hadn't thought of that as I've never been around a fortepiano. We'll be receiving our Maene Fortepiano within a year and was just wondering if that's something I should look into prior to it's arrival? Would you or Jansen still have the info about what modifications were made, etc.? Thanks.

We added wood blocks to the square plates that accept the tapered legs of the piano. Seems to work fine, except that it moves while playing a little more than we like.  Not suggesting someone use those heavy trucks on a harpsichord, but in my experience the Fortepianos pose an even bigger problem.  We just carry the harpsichord when needed, but it also happens to be fairly light. good luck- dennis johnson _______________________________________________ caut list info: <a href="https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives" eudora="autourl">https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives</a></blockquote> <x-sigsep></x-sigsep> ______________________ Avery Todd, RPT Moores School of Music University of Houston Houston, TX</body> </html>
