Piano Stage Truck Installation

[Hazen Bannister]

Hi,
  I do the same thing with bar stools.I have the legs cut off, just high
enough to raise the piano a few inches off the floor,and can be adjusted
higher with books,anything.It's also great when moving a piano,to remove the
left leg,and the padded top is easy on the finish.
Best,
Hazen Bannister
