Hello!
So I had a random thought the other day when installing a piano spider. For those that have them at your schools or in your private clientele, do you ever tighten them up? And if so how often to you check the bolts?
I had this thought and then a few days later I was helping a fellow colleague at a university's concert hall and they showed me their 9' (that's on a 25 year old spider) has a gap between the front bottom of the leg and caster cup. (pictures should be attached) Is this seen often? Would a fix be to take the piano off and tighten things up, pivot around the dolly to be on different legs,? Or did it in someway get damaged an a new one is needed to be put on? Or should they be replaced every 25ish years?!
Just wondering. Would like to know of others experiences with piano dollies in general too.
Thanks!
