  • 1.  Install a Dampp-Chaser over a Spider Dolly

    In a few weeks, I have a Dampp-Chaser installation on a Yamaha grand (C7) that's on a spider dolly. I've installed Dampp-Chasers many times before and am perfectly comfortable doing that. However, the spider dolly adds a new layer of complexity to the situation. I won't be able to lay flat on my back like I'm used to.

    Has anyone here dealt with this before? If so, what advice do you have?

    Thanks in advance,

    I've installed several on spider dollies.  More of a challenge for sure. .  Take a few moving pads or heavy blankets to lay across the dolly. If you want to get creative you could mahe a couple platforms about 6" High to put on each side to create a level(more or less) surface.
