Hi Ron, How often is the piano moved? Is it a carpeted floor, or tile? Is there any metal strips, or bumps it has to go over? Remember larger wheels will raise the height of the pedals. I have used the double rubber wheel casters, from the catalogues, with mostly success. Frequent moving, especially over thresholds means you would have to buy the more expensive ones. At our University I suggested they buy an inexpensive dolly, they find it useful. Regards, John M.
