The end being pushed kept refusing to follow a straight line. Jim Bryant suggested replacing casters to resolve this. I guess this particular piano could have been dropped in its short life and damaged one of the caster sockets and/or stems. Or the existing caster system could have had a defective part from the get go. Other than not tracking straight, it rolled quite nicely.
