casters

[Farrell]

I'm going to assume the piano of concern here is an upright - being that the 
owner intends on moving it on its casters.

Pianotek part #CRD-K40B (or A), page A-43 of their catalog, Darnell 
Dual-Wheel Stem Casters. I install them on every upright I 
rebuild/remanufacture. They work great, spread out the weight real nice, and 
will not mark a hard hardwood floor. You can move a full-size upright with 
one hand.
