Thanks David.  Have you tried a double rubber wheel on a concert grand?  Can
it take that pressure?  I've had even the tri-wheel rubber wheels (small
dollies) break apart under a concert grand.  Thanks.

  Lance,
  It's not clear entirely clear from your post, but it sounds as though you
are describing a single brass or steel wheel  such as Steinway #008760.   If
this piano is being used on a stage, why wouldn't you use their double
rubber caster #8734?  It's a Darnell  ballbearing caster with additional
bearings around the wheel hub.  I'm not sure the Steinway style wheel comes
in more than one hardness, but the Apsco (bless them) version does (less the
hub bearings).  These wheels can, in fact, roll too easily, at times.   Good
luck.
