Hello  List,

I'm a newbie working my way through Randy Potter's course.   I have three 
old uprights in my garage that are in various stages of  regulation, tuning 
and deconstruction.  With winter coming I want to  move them around and I've 
been looking at these dual truck dollies that I  can use on my own.  One is 
Roll-or-Kari and the other is by  Jansen.  Near as I can tell the Jansen has 
swiveling wheels that can  be locked and the Kari has swivels on one dolly 
and locked on the  other.  Otherwise, they're equal.  Also special long 
straps will  have to be required by either to get around an upright.

So I'm  wondering if anyone has had experience with these devices.  Will 
they  handle a heavy old upright?  Are there problems working around the  
casters?  Of course mine have some missing casters anyway which is  the root 
of the problem.  :-}

Any ideas are  appreciated.

The truck dollies are strong enough to handle heavy uprights. If you are  
moving the pianos around yourself, I would suggest you use the Kari, because it  
will be easier to maneuver the piano. But I'm more concerned about your 
garage.  I presume it will be heated during the winter.
