  Greg,
  Folding Stool with Wheels- Harbor Freight #44061 . Approximately 13" x 13"
x 16" tall. The casters which are pretty poor in quality but the whole thing
cost about $8 on sale, got what I paid for.. I have worked on it in the
folded positition also, using it as a rolling kneeler. I'm 5'8" so it may be
a bit high for you.
  Hope this helps,
  Dale

  Dale,
      Would you care to share any more info on this stool? Also, How tall
are you? I'm wondering if someone 6' and shrinking might benefit from this
as well.

    Carl,You could measure speaking length with a rubber yardstick if you
stretched it the same amount on each string. It might take a while to get
the feel but you could do it. Same with dip, just takes practice which will
yield pretty accurate results. Your method would probably work but I haven't
tried it.As to the glides, I don't change them because it will affect the
leveling. You have a good point about the wear factor but it has not caused
me a problem yet. I still have to do some fine leveling in the piano. By the
way, Harbor Freight sells a small folding stool on wheels that puts me about
the right height for key leveling and damper work on grands. Makes life a
little easier.Best,Dale
