[pianotech] piano moving question

[Dean May]

When I had the piano store we moved brand new grands around the store all
the time on just the padded dolly. But for your situation, I would really
recommend you put it on a board. Just buy a 2x12 and tack a cleat on one end
then get some ratchet straps from Harbor Freight (pick up some extra
blankets while you're there). The piano will be more stable for storage if
you leave it on a skid and better protected.

I have a friend who wants to move his Steinway L across the house for
storage while rebuilding (his house). Is a piano board necessary or would a
sufficiently padded dolly suffice. All other precautions would , or course,
be taken. Thank you for any help.
