Double Doors?

Hello, I am looking for a way to move a piano in/out of a smaller room in the studio, also an isolation room (dimensions about 16x11'). I initially thought of using 2 3' wide doors, French style. Am I fooling myself, or is there a better way? i.e., sliding doors? Any insight is appreciated.

How about double sliders? THe problem would be the bottom rail and seals though. You wouldn't want to lift a piano up even if it is only 1/2 an inch. Anything is possible with the right size budget :) Sliders save space too. lil

We used wide opening double doors at Recording Oasis to allow the piano to be wheeled into the drum room http://www.johnlsayers.com/Pages/Oasis.htm At Shanghai Twang we used folding doors http://www.johnlsayers.com/Pages/Shanghai_Twang.htm

even with the bottom seal or rails, you just use a couple of small ramps to wheel the heavy stuff over them. depending on your paranoia, using some thin masonite (moving) panels or carpet/vinyl runners can help spare your floor when moving big gear, nothing worse than a wheel with some grit and malfunctioning to drag and scratch your nice finishes...

They need to paint there doors at Freo John. That under coat green doesn't suit :)

yeah - it's pretty wild isn't it :)
