I once had a piano on 2X4's before I tilted it. the two little catcher arms slid off the bottom and the piano fell on its back. Luckily no one got hurt. Keep the piano on the floor with nothing under it.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>Al Guecia</FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=piano57@insightbb.com href="mailto:piano57@insightbb.com">Barbara Richmond</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A title=pianotech@ptg.org href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">Pianotech List</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Thursday, February 21, 2008 9:27 AM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Tilting piano</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hi,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>I need to do a little bit of bridge repair on this piano and want to tilt it.  I've never tilted an instrument with this type of dolly.  Do I prop the piano up on some 4x4s (or whatever) first and then tilt?  </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>Thanks,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>Barbara Richmond, RPT</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>near Peoria, IL</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
