Sorry Bob, I didn't get this answered the first time. I did 
one for a church once. They wanted something as cheap as 
possible, naturally, and didn't much care how it looked, so I 
did the cheapest, quickest addition I thought of at the time. 
Salvage yard steel box, about 2"x3", about 14 gage or so (not 
very heavy). I hole sawed holes in the ends for the legs to 
set in, and one in the middle for access to the attach bolt 
and drilled a hole in the bottom the size of the bolt. With 
the legs in the holes (on bolts to keep them off the side of 
the hole) the sides of the box came 2" up the leg, but the 
height of the piano wasn't raised over what a conventional 
install would have given them. Looked a little different, but 
it worked fine. I didn't cap the ends, for cost savings.

One approach.
