School bought a Baldwin SD-10 new about 12 years ago for their = stage. The school put it on 3 little individual piano trucks rather = than the proper 1-piece unit. Costs less is better...right??? A couple of years ago the piano was getting pushed into another room = and when it hit the threshold, the leg at the end shattered and the = piano went down. Fortunately nobody was hurt and the piano damage was = limited to the leg. The school had a local high school wood shop copy = the leg and build a new one. The copy looks good. The school put the = new leg on and the piano was put right back up on the wrong trucks = again. =20 Now the front 2 legs are cracking. The school called me this time. = My position is to replace all 3 legs with the factory originals and to = put it on the 1-piece piano truck. My estimate is pretty high. The = reason that I'm looking for the weight is to give them an idea as to = what kind of damage is potentially there if the piano falls again. I = dread the thought of an 1,100 pound concert grand falling on a 98 pound = college freshman vocal major fresh out of high school. I've also looked = at the price of a new piano. The money saved by doing it the = hobby-tooner way is a false savings.
