Which one of these will be best suited for a >Steinway studio piano? My flip answer would be, "none of the above". After repairing P22's which had flipped (flopped?) on their backs, I went to the Schaff 4005 set. (I think that's the number.) They are individual large wheels which attached at the corners. The rear ones are set out at a 45° angle which gives a much more stable arrangement. Those other ones with wheels within the back line of the piano can topple with only one person leaning on them. Guess how I know... Haven't had any trouble in the 5 years since I mounted them.
