Hi Folks; I have to agree with both Bob about trailers. They are the BEST way to go for moving one piano at a time. I have used one now for about eight years. I had one specially built with twin axles, 42" high walls, steel floor ( it makes it easier to slide in a piano with a broken castor ) removable tailgate, and a steel frame / fitted vinyl tarp roof. The axles are offset or dropped about 8" below the center of the ( old VW Rabbit ) wheels, leaving the deck about a foot off the ground. When the piano is on the dolly, tipping it puts one end into the trailer !! Thi summer, I towed a Steinway player from Ontario to BC with my Honda Accord, and you wouldnt even know it was there. The tandem axles also allow you to unhook it from the vehicle, and still move the trailer around easily with a piano on it. Merry Christmas Jim Kinnear www.pianoguy.com
