Stayed at the northborough junction hotel of some brand.    Schaff sells a very heavy duty but portable and collapsable upright tilter. Very rigid which is critical. I have a friend whos jaw was broken by the ineffective useage of one of these. She didn't pull back hard enough to have the feet dig into the pianos bottom board. The whole thing slid out and knocked the handle of the tilter into her jaw. I would recommend having a welder weld a sharp point on to each foot for safety.    As for grands this was discussed here last month and others will need to provide details.     Regards>>>>>>>>>Dale Erwin>. <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px"> Hi all, I am looking for cost-effective recommendations on how to tilt pianos. Some feedback about commercially available piano tilters that you might want to share? Has you ever built an vertical piano tilter for your shop? Do you have plans available? Thanks in advance to all of you for your responses. Regards, /Claudia ----- Claudia Cimenti Northborough, Massachusetts claudia_cimenti@mail.com ----- </BLOCKQUOTE> </HTML>
