Very fine job Zeno. I would like to add that I would use bolts instead of screws only because I have seen the end result of what can happen when students and teachers push the piano through door ways and hit the back of the twin piano dollie over and over until the screws are broken. Each situation is different and the screws hopefully will last for meny years to come. Everyone is in such a rush and when moving the piano through the door do not even see the back side of the piano until it hits the door frame. ouch.

Take 2: Here's a picture of a Yamaha P2 I recently mounted on the 4009 upright dollies, using a tilter. The front to back measurement by chance was an exact match, others I've done had a little more room. You are correct about the fixed dimension of the dolly. There are vertical screw holes in the back to bolt it to the back posts. If you put the dollies to the extreme ends, there's no interference with the player's feet. It only raises it a very little bit, not very noticeable. The dolly also protrudes a little bit in the back of the piano, so the piano can't be pushed all the way back to the wall. ps. - I used a ratchet strap to secure the piano to the tilter. -Zeno Wood One more question if I may. Looking at both the 4009 and 4010 dollies, it appears you can run a screw through the vertical part of the dolly into the back (I presume) of the piano. I believe the front-to-back dimension of these dollies is fixed. So the front wheel will stick out some distance from the front of the knee board, the exact amount simply depends on the dimensions of the piano - am I understanding this correctly?I guess it would not be obtrusive because one would install them at the extreme ends of the piano (or I guess just inboard of the OEM casters) - correct?Terry Farrell ____________________________________________________________ International Movers Click here for great quotes from top international movers! http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2141/c?cp=tggFuE2meJnUhiJyJSlT5QAAJ1ButuDroy30iobj4ZCrBRnSAAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAXQgAAAAA= -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
