<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow"> I built a support box exactly
like Susan Graham's (November 1988 Journal, page 14; picture of box on front
cover) for jacking up grand pianos in order to work on the legs, casters,
etc. The only difference between hers and mine is that she used 3/4"
plywood and I used pine boards (1" x 8"). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow"> I've only used it for
smaller grands so far and I'm wondering if it will support one
side (one of the front corners) of a 9-ft. concert grand. I suppose I
could just go ahead and stick it under there and start jacking it up and see if
the box looks like it's gonna hold, but it seems risky. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow"> Don't know if the CD
version of the Journals has all the pictures of front covers.
