A number of years ago I made some caster cups for one of those. Obliviously it had no wheels but a "cup like device" can be made to fit the iron "thingies" that are on the bottom of the piano. Because the (lets call them cups) are felted on the bottom the piano can be scootched on the floor without damage, assuming it is a hardwood floor.
