Hey Jurgen , thank you for the info. Didn't notice that I hadn't
mentioned that the piano was about a 6' grand.<br>
Could you itemize the prices of said wheels, grand and upright, please.
Seems that someone mentioned a<br>
European caster, but can't remember who, or maybe I'm dreaming.(
Happened once before !! ?) If you feel <br>
that you would rather Email me personally, I thank you in advance. Bye
the ; nice pics.<br>

you don't state whether you are talking about an upright or a grand.
Piano Forte Supply carries casters for both uprights and grands which
have a firm, non-marking rubber coating vulcanized onto them. This
protects the floor while ball bearings make rolling the piano easy.
The word should have been out in the November PTG Journal, but there
was a glitch in the system and my ad for these casters wasn't printed.
It will run in December.

These are German made, high quality casters. The upright model has a
low profile, so the piano pedals don't end up two inches off the
ground.

As far as caster cups go, this is the ultimate: "Piattino" acoustic
insulating caster cups put 1 1/2" of acoustic insulation between the
piano and the floor, but raise the piano less than 3/8"! The pressure
on the floor is reduced by a factor of 100, and the instrument can be
slid on carpets and smooth floors without rolling out of the cup.

<blockquote type="cite">A musician friend called today to tell me
that he and his wife had taken out the rug in the
<br>
living room, and replaced it with hardwood floor. Wanted to know what
kind of casters
<br>
would be best , so the wheels wouldn't mark the floor when it is
moved. I suggested caster
<br>
cups of good quality be used, but am at a loss as to whether there are
wheels which might be
<br>
used that would not mark the floor. Asked a good friend ( RPT ) and he
didn't think there were
<br>
any, but thought it was a good idea to post here for opinions.
<br>
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
