David L - A couple of questions: - What size piano? - What kind of floor surface? - Why do casters need replacing? Appearance? Rust? - Is piano intended to be easily movable? I could see an issue if you were perhaps trying to install a set of double rubber casters into what had been an inset single metal wheel. Could you provide a bit more info and maybe a picture?
