Steinway casters orientation

[Isaac sur Noos]

Thanks, John, indeed that make sense, I need to check that on less
large instruments as well (one Grotrian particularly is strange when
it comes to stability of the key bedding in the basses.

But then, one may consider that the fixture of the legs is not as
rigid, and can be moving the keybed slightly ? it may depend of the
piano, but then the same idea apply .

I have seen a sketch showing the roller oriented toward the tail of
the piano after a S&S training in a workshop, but no one cared to
answer me on that point (as I was not invited to the training, see
;>( !

Are American grand's usually sold without rollers ?

Best Regards.

Isaac
