Leg question

[Ron E Engle]

I just checked and here is the info.
3 brass wheels  $1206.00
3 short legs, Ebony- $946.00
                    Unfinished-$879.00
Call Steinway & Sons @ 800-366-1853 and ask for Glorie.

I decided against the brass wheels and went for the Jansen concert grand
truck, very heavy duty and does not bow for a fraction of the cost.
