Hi Beverly, Installing a truck isn't all that bad. I use the job as an occasion to get a bunch of students together for camaraderie. I always get way more people than I need, and always have sawhorses or whatever to make it as safe as possible. Take your time in assembling the truck beforehand and positioning it, and lay out EVERYTHING you think you'll need. The tip in the article about blocks of wood is indispensable, and you WILL need them. If the casters are the type that pop out -- and they usually are -- the job is almost fun. If you have to take legs off and unscrew casters, that's when it gets testy, but again, prepare, prepare, prepare. Incidentally, I'm always surprised at how heavy pianos aren't, when there are plenty of people to share the lifting. Mark Graham Baldwin-Wallace Conservatory of Music Berea, Ohio
