>>Hi Jon,
>>               Jurgen is your best bet, he is now carrying a good 
>> selection of good quality German castors.   You could get lucky and get 
>> a new replacement.
>>Failing that. plug the old mortice with a maple dowel using epoxy to glue 
>>into position.  Build up the outer area of the leg with epoxy to obtain a 
>>snug fit for the ferrule.
>>Secure the ferrule with screws set in virgin wood, well away from the old 
>>screw holes.   Also make sure that the base of the tenon has a flat face 
>>to fit with the bottom of the ferrule cup.
>>Not the best arrangement for a caster carrying this type of load.  If the 
>>piano is not going to be moved much, it will more than suffice.
