I've had only one and afterwards, never again. Now I put my left foot on the bottom frame and pull up on the back handle as the piano leans forward and casters make contact with the floor. No more trouble, but I've never forgotton when a spinet came down on my left foot! Howard On Mon, 22 Oct 2001 15:03:01 -0700 "Dick Beaton" <rbeaton@initco.net> writes: Hi all..... YES I did have one scoot out on me. It slid down the rails of the tilter...I held onto the handles. When the top of the piano hit the feet of the tilter I felt like I was going to hit the ceiling! I had just installed a new set of casters on the old upright. I figured out that what happened was the new casters hit the floor and started rolling forward....you can picture the rest. The real solution is to prevent the casters from turning when they touch the floor...so the piano can't scoot out. A piece of carpet on the floor where the casters touch down will do the job, but for real insurance I just used a rubber mute inserted above the caster wheel to prevent the caster wheel from turning. I never had another problem. Simple and easy as well as SAFE. Give it a try.

Has anyone had a piano scoot out with this exact piece of equipment? Regards, Clyde ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
