Does anybody know which of the casters in the Schaff catalog can be used to replace the rear casters on the Baldwin studios typically found in schools? As far as I can tell, the front casters have an overall length of 2 5/8" but the rear casters are only 2 1/4" overall. (The toe block is not flush with the bottom of of the case).
I asked somebody at Schaff and their response was that "The only thing you should be concerned with is the diameter of the wheel." I disagree. I have in front of me three different styles of caster, all with wheel diameter of 1 7/8". But their overall height, from the floor to where the base of the caster meets the bottom of the piano ranges from 2 3/4" to 3 1/4". The ones in the catalog also look like they vary in overall height, even if they have the same wheel diameter. Why don't they give the overall height?
