    Contact Brooks Ltd . I bought one of those and it was signed by LaRoy Edwards. It is well worth the investment. I just used mine this week while I worked on a Yamaha C7. it wll save you back, hands, and arms and make life way easier.

    Thanks John. Unfortunately it's out of stock. Brooks has not replied, but Pianos Bolduc has and they have the caddy in stock!

    Don't buy from Flugelbauer. He ripped off the design. Good to hear they are out.

    I believe the Bolduc ones are legit: https://shop.pianosbolduc.com/products/edwards-grand-action-caddy

    Brooks may offer them as well.

    Check with Melanie at Brooks. LaRoy did not patent or license his design and I believe he said anyone was free to use it. My caddy has saved my back and made actions so much easier to work on.

    It's a great design - I'm happy I bought one from LaRoy a number of years ago. One tip: I upgraded the casters with better ones that lock and roll easier. I saw the one the Bolduc's had at the convention and it looked exactly like LaRoy's design, including the adjustment bolts to recreate key dip while on the caddy. Here's his video that is still up on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjcLUlAvkdY
