I have used the technique lots of times, especially when moving within the same building. You have to be very careful to allow the lid to overhang the dolly. I still prefer the skid.

I was talking with the owner, who was praising their work, and he mentioned they don't use a skidboard when moving a grand piano.They wrap it in blankets, and put a canvas cover made for a grand on it, and straight to the dolly. I don't want to come in and change their technique that has worked for years with them, but I have been moving piano's for years as well, and can't imagine not using a skidboard. I was wondering if anyone else on the list had used this same technique.
