Hi Dave, Jansen carries them. Item #409, somewhere around page 21. Kind of spendy, but worth it. Don't store the piano on the transporter or the keybed will warp slightly. Comes back into regulation after sitting on the legs for awhile. Don't ask me how I know. Hope my date and time is correct on my computer now. Appears it reset itself last night. Tim Coates "David M.
