I would however recommend that you buy some professional gear as well = as making your own. New Haven Moving makes great skidboards and dollies. = Their fixed wheel piano dollies are the safest way I have found to move = pianos (after 20years). I had them make me one custom (only 6" high = instead of 8") so that my rental c-7 would fit into my trailer. Moving = gear is available from Schaff et al. but I've found that the New Haven = stuff is superior. Jansen too!

Homemade dollys @ skids anyone?? My first question to this list..if it works...:) Surely, I can use = the backposts and etc.. wood parts from ex-pianos to build a dolly and = grand skid or three!!.. Someone must have plans! I'm a fairly new = associate ptg., Was at chicago and met a few of you on this list and = that was really cool!! I do brass and woodwind repair for a living and = have been gradually learning more about pianos... Anyhoo.....what I'm = after is a schematic or plan for a 4 wheel dolly and small grand piano = skid for moving pianos. I already have a couple of condemned = "mercy-removals" scheduled and would rather re-cycle wood I have and = possibly build a better skid... if someone will share! = Jonnyv@chartermi.net ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
