Jer asked: "Yesterday, while tuning at my college, I noticed that one of the benches to a Kawai K-3 had small round rubber caps (?) that were about the size of the bottom of the feet of the leg in diameter and were screwed into the bottom of the leg. They are about, 1/8" thick or so. They are great! They are soft, slide easily, appear quite durable and will not scratch the tile floor when moving the bench around. I've not seen these before. The store that sold the piano had no clue where they came from nor does the college so I assume perhaps that they came with the bench? Any idea where I can get a few dozen of these little things or something just as good? I looked in the Pianotek and Schaff catalogs, paging through them both but, didn't see anything. " Jer, A picture might be nice.<G> I suspect you are talking about Bassik glides. They come in various sizes. They are obtainable from your better hardware stores. I put them on all new benches for my clients. Regards, Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T. Captain of the Tool Police Squares R I -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
