Yamaha U1's and double wheel castors

[David Ilvedson]

Yeah, they have a conversion kit which is a possiblity.  I guess an 
hour to install...I can get, from Jansen, a light duty truck (as 
opposed to their heavy-duty truck)for about $20 more and the labor 
would be about the same.  Advantage with the truck is they can 
moved to the next generation of pianos down the line and have to 
better than rubber wheels...?
