Hi Ric Ask Jurgen at piano forte supply. He carries a wide variety of specialty casters and has good sources and the inside track for this kinda of thing from Germany. It helps that he is bi-lingual when shopping in that country....lol. Dale S.

Bosendorfer no longer make the 275 since it was replaced with the new 280 some years ago and they inform me that the castors for the new concert grand would not fit a 275. However, they can offer a set with a slightly wider stem (24mm). The hole in the leg is about 20mm. I am wondering if these are actually castors for the 290 Imperial and that we should just drill out the leg of out 275 and fit them. I am not entirely sure whether these come with the integrated square brass cup which terminates the Bosendorfer legs. The square cups on our 275 appear to be damaged, in that the brass outer tube in which the steel stem rotates are no longer attached to the cup. Any Bosendorfer castor experiences out there?
