I went back to see this piano today. Thanks to all who answered with
suggestions what to expect. I got off easy, the bottom two octaves had
jumped the front rail pins, and no wippens were damaged. I brought the
tilter and fixed the loose caster. The pianos get moved over thresholds all
the time, so the wheels are just about shot. While I was there fixing the
wheels on one, they moved another piano, and then asked if I could work on
it, because two of that pianos wheels fell off. That's called good timing.
Again thanks, this list is amazing. KJ
