>We have a 9' Yamaha with those large, very smooth-rolling brass casters with >>the brake and it doesn't seem to have a problem. > >Jeff Stickney, RPT >University of Montana >jpage@selway.umt.edu Jeff, If the Yamaha has no problem with the brass casters why not order some for the Steinway (from Pianotek)? Our rule here at ASU is that if you don't need the truck, get the piano back on the stage. There are two advantages: The piano, when grounded to the stage floor, sounds much better. When the wheels are locked, the pianist will never have to worry about chasing the piano around the stage during the performance - although I'm sure that there is some new music score written somewhere that calls for such. OK, there are three advantages - it looks a whole lot better! Later, ---- Rick Florence, Piano Technician Arizona State University School of Music Rick.Florence@ASU.Edu
