Have to replace some old casters (Steinway 1920s) with new ones. Request is for nickel plated. Does anyone have experience with the nickel plated casters from Steinway and how they fit in these 1920's sockets, how much retrofitting needs to be done etc. The other option is to buy brass ones from the supply house which I know can be fitted with minimal chiseling and plate them but prefer not to have to go through the plating procedure if possible. Have not had the experience of fitting current Steinway nickel casters in old Steinway leg sockets and the piano, of course, is not in my shop. Anyone with a similar experience?
