=2>The
Steinway D at a casino theatre(1200 seats) is<BR>moved allot, often 2 show=
s a
day.<BR> The ends of the legs, become easily chipped around<BR=
>the
bottom just from the torque of the massive bass<BR>wheels on it. In fact t=
he
screws that hold the wheels<BR>through the sides of the bass square leg in=
sert
<BR>sometimes sheer right off. Resulting in play
and<BR>chipping.<BR> The whole piano end sat 1/4" low
yesterday<BR>due to another sheered screw.The wheel assembly was<BR>twisti=
ng
under the weight. Legs have become damaged<BR>over time.<BR><BR> &nbs=
p;
This most recent problem just presented itself, and<BR>I leave on vacation=
in
the morning. Would like to<BR>send them some quotes/solutions, but can not=
phone<BR>suppliers today. Perhaps someone from the list<BR>can help get my=
thinking in the ballpark here.<BR><BR> How much is a set of
legs/wheels for a D?<BR>They proposed a spare set, so a damaged one can be=
<BR>removed and sent off for repair and finishing while<BR>using a spare. =
Can
one purchase just the end leg,(for<BR>how much) or is it a set deal
always?<BR><BR> Someone mentioned a hydraulic lift that rolls
under<BR>the piano and lifts the frame and inch for moving.<BR>Never seen =
one.
Who supplies these(Yamaha was<BR>mentioned, but this is now 3rd hand
information)and<BR>how much are they?<BR><BR> Sorry for all t=
he
specific questions, but I need<BR>answers now, on a Saturday, if that is
possible, for<BR>I am leaving. <BR><BR> This could open=
up
an interesting discussion <BR>on heavily used concert pianos, and habits
related<BR>to care, moving, storage, spare parts on location,<BR>spare set=
of
string, cabinet care, on location<BR>touch up..............<BR><BR>
