<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV>Martha Stewart to the  rescue again!  Do you, like me, hate lugging grand actions around?  Martha has designed the perfect grand action transporter.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I can pull the action out of the piano onto it, work on the  action right there, wheel it over to my bench and slide it onto the bench, wheel it out to the car and slide it into the back of my station wagon.  It even goes up and down steps.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Who would have thought Martha Stewart was looking out for us pianotechs?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I found it in K-Mart, just sitting there waiting for me.  The ones that had been there the week before were all sold and this new load was just perfect.  It's extra wide to give the action more support.  Has a nice mesh top for straps to hold the action securely when wheeling it like a truck-dolly up or down steps or across rough terrain.  It's adjustable to different heights.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It was only $65 plus another $20 or so for the wheels, hardware and straps.  You could probably buy a used one for very little outlay. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> I knew it would work because a couple of months ago, when I had to bring a Steinway O action home a couple of times, I was desperate for help in lugging it around and had tried my <U><EM><STRONG>home</STRONG></EM> ironing board </U>and it worked quite well even without the wheels (but it couldn't go up and down the customer's steps without the wheels).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Fun!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Diane</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><BR><BR><BR>Diane Hofstetter </DIV>245-M Mount Hermon Rd.#343 <DIV></DIV>Scotts Valley, CA 95066 <DIV></DIV>ph 831-438-6222 <DIV></DIV>fax 831-430-9741 <DIV></DIV>dianepianotuner@hotmail.com <DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at <a href='http://go.msn.com/bql/hmtag_itl_EN.asp'>http://explorer.msn.com</a><br></html>
