[CAUT] piano truck caster question

[David M. Porritt]

John:

I imagine that our wheels are old enough that they don't turn all that well
so the piano doesn't move!  I have noticed that all the newer dollies we've
bought came with brakes on 2 wheels.  Last year - for some reason - we had a
lot of wheels break and I got replacements from Schaff that worked well.

Subject: [CAUT] piano truck caster question

I'm looking for recommendations for replacement casters for our Grand Piano
truck for a 7" Stienway. Does anyone ever find the need for BRAKES on these?
Some of my softer casters allow the piano to rock while being played...and
tuned!
