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 <u>too</u> easily, at times.
Good luck.<br>
