Well, forevermore!  Who would have thought of such an idea!  I'm
compressed!

Joy!

Yes, they came with little glides in the front, and they just rested on
the bottom board in the rear.  In the years since then the little glides
from the factory have broken and I've replaced them with substantial
glides.  These work pretty well and are strong enough that they should
last probably as long as the pianos. =20

Indeed! Let me put it this way, I'd rather chain the pianos than
confront the perpetrators.=20

What do you mean w/o wheels? On blocks or something?

We used to have real problems with practice room pianos wandering around
but we stopped that when we got 40 new studio pianos in 1993.  We
ordered 28 for the practice rooms without wheels.  They stay right where
they are!

Dave,

We had to chain our practice pianos to the floor. Seems as though
several (6) rather large/strong Tongan students would move them into a
rehearsal hall so they could practice together. Thing is, they were
women.=20

Several years ago a student music organization donated the labor to
chain a music stand in each practice room.  They stayed put really quite
well.  A couple of years ago we bought Jansen Petite artist benches for
all of our grand piano practice rooms and I've chained each of those to
the pianos.  They have all stayed where they are.  Chain works!
