If students are to be moving this piano often, I'd worry more about personal injury than tone. Definitely get a piano truck!!! If you want a solid contact to the floor for performance then make up some hardwood wedges to block under the legs. As a side note, when it comes time to remove or install a piano on a truck, I have two small wedges (I call them 'Truck Stops') to place under the front legs so the back arm does not flip upwards. To remove a truck, place both Stops under the front legs and remove the rear leg from the truck. When installing, place a Stop under each front leg as it is positioned then simply swing the rear arm under the rear leg. -- Regards, Jon Page
