upright wheels?

[John Ross]

Hi Ron,
How often is the piano moved? Is it a carpeted floor,
or tile? Is there any metal strips, or bumps it has to
go over?
Remember larger wheels will raise the height of the
pedals.
I have used the double rubber wheel casters, from the
catalogues, with mostly success. Frequent moving,
especially over thresholds means you would have to buy
the more expensive ones.
At our University I suggested they buy an inexpensive
dolly, they find it useful.
