Greetings all,

 

I'm looking for a recommendation for replacement of the original casters for
a Steinway A that occasionally (not often) gets moved back and forth as much
as 15 feet on a wood floor in a church.  The music director isn't crazy
about using a stage truck and I don't want to replace the legs to fit new
casters, or, for that matter, replace legs because they've been broken.

 

Would just having some good double wheel rubber casters do the job?  Any
other suggestions?  Please be specific--as in catalog and part number.

 

Or should I just talk him into a truck and use wedges under the truck to
support the legs as I've done for a piano on a stage.  Are there any other
truck vs. caster opinions/theories I need to know about? 

 

Thanks,

Barbera:

Check with Pianotek.  They list grand casters in their catalog for this
purpose.  If you need a "truck," I have a used Colsen grand piano truck
available.  Contact me off-line for details.
