Jurgen,

Are there any that don't require a leg change?

  Barbara - 
  I can understand that the music director is not crazy about a Steinway on a truck. More and more institutions and artists are discovering the advantages of proper stage casters.

  I import and distribute stage casters for grands. They have a tough, non marking PUR coating to protect floors, five ball bearings, brakes, and come in different sizes.

  Hope this give some options.

    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,
