Some of the very low-frequency components are carried right down the piano legs to the floor, and the floor acts as a secondary low-frequency soundboard. It's all in the coupling of the piano to the floor. Those hard brass casters do it. Solid blocks will do it too. A stage truck will not do it. In fact, it will isolate the vibrations of the piano's structure from the floor. I have often wondered if there is some carry over. The piano in our concert hall sits not only on a truck, but on a wood floor, which is suspended. (There is a pit under the stage floor.) One of our professors claims the piano has a crack in the soundboard, because he can hear a low grumble when the piano is played. I can't hear it. What about the touch feel of piano sitting on a truck, on a suspended floor? Does that effect a feeling of touch? Anyone with a comment on that?
