Hi, The biggest thing to watch out for is the fit of the tilter to the piano. If the casters have been replaced with ones that raises the piano above a normal hight, the toes of the tilter will not catch hold of the skid board and down comes Jill with a bang. My tilter has two added ^ s that grab hold of the skid board. The only trouble with them is that it is sometimes I have to have someone else put the tilter under the piano as I lift one side at a time. The advantage of my adaption is that a belt is not needed to hold the piano and tilter together ever. One thing that might work to compensate for the larger wheels would be a 1" or 1/2" board just a little longer than the tilter is wide and 3" or so wide Joe Goss imatunr@srvinet.com www.mothergoosetools.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Clyde Hollinger" <cedel@supernet.com> To: "Pianotech" <pianotech@ptg.org> Sent: Friday, May 16, 2003 1:14 PM Subject: Re: Tilter; Was ca glue as pin tightener (TILTER) > I've heard stories of how the piano can get away from the tilter, too, so one > has to learn how to use the tool.
