Steinway casters

[Christopher D. Purdy]

Bob,

I have a used set of these I would be willing to sell for half the 
cost of new.  It is possible to refit the original legs to work.  You 
would have to cut 2.25" off the bottom of the leg and drill an inch 
and one eighth diameter hole 2.25" deep for the shaft.  Also holes 
for three screws each.

I have never had a problem with damage to a floor.  These are off a D 
that has to go over rough metal plates when it is stored under the 
stage.  We put it on the standard truck dolly with rubber wheels to 
be safer.

These dudes weigh a good ten pounds each.  They make moving the piano 
around on the stage very easy and two of the casters have locks. The 
locks are really nice to have.

Let me know if you're interested.
