 I saw them. I was wondering if there were others. I seem to remember a couple more mentioned here years ago
I just recently posted "Darnell" as a maker of really good casters, then after others posting Colson, remembered they were the ones I typically used.

Just make sure the wheel diameter is way bigger than the size of the floor surface imperfections ...
Why, oh why, did the makers of upright pianos of early last century think it was a good idea to put 1" steel casters under something that weighs half a ton?

Simple cost savings.
You don't need locking casters if the caster itself pushes into the floor..... ::)

Ya, Whatever. Just throw a '57 on it, and get off my stage.

Piano casters are for minor adjustments of position, not for transporting.

Hmmmm.  I tried HF locking casters once.  Had to grind down the mounting bolts AND nuts to allow full rotation.  Also, their locking and non-locking sibling casters have different total heights.  In other words, not too bad (but not too good, either).
